I have had sudden pain and swelling in my gums since yesterday. What could be the cause of this, and what medicine or treatment should I use for relief?

Asked by Female, 32 · 2 days ago

Sudden gum pain and swelling can occur due to food debris trapped under the gumline, a localized gum infection, or inflammation. To relieve discomfort, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water 3-4 times daily and continue brushing carefully. For temporary pain and swelling relief, over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or paracetamol can be very helpful. Please do not apply any painkiller tablets directly to the gums. Since gum swelling is best evaluated by a professional, I highly recommend scheduling a visit with a dentist soon to identify the exact cause and receive targeted treatment, such as a deep cleaning or prescription antibiotics if necessary.
