Whitish tongue, fever, puffy gums. Rinsed with hydrogen peroxide. what else to do?
Patient: I had a fever thursday, May 23 and slept from 6 pm until friday at 9am. then basicallydid not eat on friday. bufferin brought the fever down along with a cold compress. Now my tongue is white and a little painful, but the gums above the upper teeth are puffky and whitish. I have reinsed with hy peroxide 3%. also tookcaugh medicind and the caugh is much better -- not entirely gone. Doctor: this may be the acute exacerbation of  chronic  generalized periodontitis. this may be associated with other systemic condition. And  hydrogen peroxide rinse will not help you in this condition. so better to take advice of a periodontist.
