Suggest treatment for pain and swelling in gums
Patient: ok i know you are probably going to think i am crazy but this is what i did..... i had my tooth on the top beside the big tooth brake off and it hurt really bad and i DID/DO NOT have money to go to the dentist so i thought i would try to pull it my self cuz there was not much tooth left. well i was wrong and i end up ripping my gum off so alot of the gum is gone cuz on the roof of my mouth and it hurts really really bad! the tooth is sill there and the gum is white and and there are a few places above the white that are bright red and the hole area is swollen around the tooth and acouple of teeth over! is there anything i can do for the pain? will my gum ever heal from wear i tried to pull the tooth? thank you for the help Doctor: Thank you for your query,First thing first, please do not try this again.The white area around your tooth is due to excessive force used during failed extraction, the red area is the inflammation of the gums around that area.There is severe insult to the gum tissue.I would suggest you to take antibiotic as Amoxylline 625 mg thrice daily for 5 days along with Metrogyl 400 mg thrice daily for 5 days and any available analgesic accordingly.The gums will heal according to the amount of trauma they underwent, so keep finger cross.
