My daughter has an opening on the side of her gum at the back of her mouth where the wisdom teeth suppose to grow. Its small and was painful but not as much anymore. At one point it was bleeding but stop. She cant eat anything on that side of my mouth. Because when she does its very painful. Can you give me any advice as to what I should do?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The eruption of the third molar or the wisdom tooth maybe the cause for this pain and difficulty in this side of the oral cavity. For the pain, she can take an ibuprofen (if she is not allergic to any medicine), Do salt water gargling. Please visit an oral surgeon and get a radiograph done to know the exact location of the wisdom tooth. If it is not in a correct position she can have it extracted. Keep the area of that tooth clean to avoid any infection. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
