I have severe gum pain and swelling. Can you suggest a soft painkiller?
You should consult your dentist or doctor promptly to determine the cause of the gum pain and swelling, as it may be due to an infection, an abscess, or other dental issues that may require treatment. For temporary relief, over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol can be used, as it is generally gentle on the stomach. Avoid taking medications without professional guidance, especially if you have liver, kidney, or other medical conditions. Warm salt-water rinses and maintaining oral hygiene may also help reduce discomfort until a healthcare professional sees you.
