PLEASE HELP!! Hilary Doctor: hello and welcome, the problem is due to aphthous ulcer.this commonly occurs due to vitamin deficiency. please do visit your dentist and take treatment according to that.please do not take antibiotics without medical supervision. take tab.flanzen-100mg,thrice daily for 3  days and tab.wysalone-5mg twice daily for 3 days.these tablets after consulting with your dentist. also get your teeth professionaly cleaned as your gums are bleeding due to gingivitis. check also whether any of your impacted wisdom tooth is inflammed ie,pericoronitis.if present,get operculectomy done or extraction.pericoronitis can cause sore throat.continue gargling salt water.maintain good oral hygiene. take care.
