Hi, all

I'm not sure if this post should be here, but since I'm a woman, I figure it might be okay. I have a sore gum area and the middle of my lip is swollen. I've been treating it with peroxide and antibiotic cream. It does seem to be some better. I guess I have to go the dentist, but wondered why my lip gets swollen like that. Help with this would be most appreciated. Great site.


Warm regards, Susie

Hi Susie,

I had similar problem with my gums. I went to my general dentist but he could find nothing wrong, even after 2 x-rays. She gave me some Tylenol 3 and said I should take my x-rays to a specialist. However, a few days the pain went away, therefore I decided not to go to specialist. Later I figured I must have been grinding my teeth in my sleep and pushed my post into my gums and made them sore. Now I can feel the pain again. It's on the bottom right and seems to be under my last 2 teeth. One of which is the root canal/post/crown. Now I need to get appt. with good specialist. However I suggest you to visit your dentist first ...

Hi ladies,

I think it one of your teeth caused the pain but also I would be concerned about this because it also could be a symptom of cold sores. Cold sores in the first stage of infection, blisters and then ulcers form inside the mouth or on the face, accompanied by red, swollen gums, a furry tongue, mild Fever, and feeling generally under par. Though these symptoms clear up within a few days, the virus may not be destroyed, so whenever immunity is at a low ebb infection tends to reappear around mouth and lips, causing blisters which weep and then become encrusted; these usually clear up within 5-7 days.

I hope it is just a simple mouth infection, but the best way to find out is to visit your dentist as soon as possible.

Hi,

If you have red, sore, and bleeding gums are the first sign of gum disease. This can lead to Periodontitis. Periodontitis is an infection in the gums and the bone that holds the teeth in place. If the infection gets worse, your gums may pull away from your teeth, making your teeth look long. It’s almost 2 years ago since I had advanced Periodontitis and I still feel the implications. So go to your dentist and check what could it be, that’s the best solution believe me!

Thanks much for your help. I know my problem is my gums and teeth, but I just thought someone might know of something to use to help heal it in the meantime. Hope you're both doing well.


Warm regards, Susie
