Hello, I have had a swallon gum around and mainly behind my wisdon tooth . My wisdon tooth is though and I have had an x ray and everything looks fine. It is very painful and have had the pain over over three weeks now. I have been given two different types of antibiotics and they are not doing anything. My dentist said my glands are also swallon. Can you give me an idea of what it could be?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The pain and swelling is due to the impacted wisdom tooth which is erupting. The flap overlying tooth has inflamed causing pain. An x-ray will help to rule out the condition of tooth. The erupting tooth has to be either extracted or flap overlying tooth has to be removed to enhance tooth eruption. Frequent warm saline gargle may relieve the infection. Maintain good oral hygiene. The pain will stop once the above-mentioned treatments has done. Hope this helps.
