suggest treatment for swollen gums, headache and swollen glands in neck
Patient: I have very swollen gums by my wisdom teeth on one side and have had a real bad headache the last couple of days.  I got up this morning and have swollen glands in my neck on the same side.  i am already on antibiotics for something else should i still go and see a doctor? Doctor: Hello,Thanks for consulting HCM. Read your query, as you have swollen gums , neck and headache this can be due to wisdom tooth eruption causing pain due to Pericornitis secondary to Pericoronal abscess or may be due to impacted wisdom tooth may be due to Mesioangular, distoangular, horizontal or vertical impaction . Understand your pain if will suggest you to consult Oral surgeon and go for investigations done IOPA xray or OPG radiograph to evaluate the position of wisdom tooth and go for its treatment . In meantime do warm saline gargle 3 - 4 times in day , you can take Antibiotic like Oflox oz or Amoxicillin by consulting with your doctor , for pain you can take analgesic like Paintol or Ibugesic plus.Hope this will help you.
