I accidentally bumped my toothbrush into my upper gums and it bled a little 7 days ago.  I also ended up with a sinus infection and on antibiotics.  I thought my gum was healing where I bumped it (pink) but today it feels worse and sore.  Can the sinus infection affect the healing process?
Hi. Thanks for the query. Bumping of toothbrush over the gums must have led to injury of the gums leading to inflammation which can lead to soreness, pain, redness. If you have sinus infection there can be feeling of pressure and pain in gums but as you are already on antibiotics the healing of the gums will not be hampered, and it is a normal healing process and will gradually heal as the inflammation subsides. You should avoid hot and spicy food. Gargle with cold water will relieve. In case of pain you can apply travel or other numbing gels. Maintain a good Oral hygiene to prevent infections. You should massage the gum with Chlorohexidine gel. If you do not find any improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. Hope this helps. Regards.
