What causes pain in gums while chewing food post extraction of teeth?
Patient: I haven't ate in three weeks because the pain of my wisdom tooth was so bad i couldn't eat but I got five teeth taken out on june 14nd when I chew  it's sore but no pain or puss in my gums so I know I don't have a blood clot and only being surviving on super soft food and soups but my stool is pure luqid is this normal or is there something wrong with me? Doctor: Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..As per your complain if you had severe pain in wisdom tooth it can be probably due to infection in gum flap that surrounds the wisdom tooth leading to Pericoronitis..As you are on a soft diet which might be lacking an appropriate quantity of fibre therefore you are having loose stools with plenty of fluids..If you still have some infection and pain present consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and you can be advised Antibiotics and painkillers for reducing infection..For improving bowels take more of green leafy vegetables and salads in diet and do moderate workout..You can also take fibre supplements like Psyllium..Take Yoghurt in diet..Hope this helps..Regards.
