Hey, i have a red vein on the left side of my gum situated next to my tongue the 6th teetChatDoctoring forward and it hurts even when Im not eating . It comes along with headache and fever it then disappears for quite a white and comes back. What are your thoughts?
Hi. Thanks for the query. It looks like gum Infection and due to Infection there is fever and headache. There is also a possibility of some foreign body impaction in localized area of gum that is causing infection and inflammation. So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist and get evaluated. A clinical examination and x-ray can help in confirmation of the cause. For now, you can take a combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen for reducing pain and fever. Apply Lidocaine gel over the gum for localized pain relief. Do cool compresses for reducing inflammation and pain. Do warm saline gargles and take soft diet. Hope this helps. Regards.
