Hello, Eight days ago I had 4 mini implants in my lower jaw to make my existing denture more stable. I do not have much ridge due to severe osteoporosis . My tissue and lip is very inflamed. I have not not been taking ibobrufen as it usually makes me nauseas but have been taking Endone and paracetamol instead. My tissue is so inflamed and sore - should I just put up with the nausea and take ibobrufen instead? Best regards, Visitor from Prahran.
Hello, thanks for writing in. As you are complaints of inflamed lips due to the placement of implants, the implant or the existing denture may be interfering with the normal texture of tissue as well as lips. Taking will give temporary relief. I would suggest you to visit your dentist and get the sharp borders and high points of the denture corrected to prevent ulceration of tissues. Please do not take medicines without medical supervision. Include plenty of fluids as well as nutritious food into your diet. Take care
