Is persistent pain and swelling after hematoma on gums normal?
Patient: my daughter got a hematoma on her gum above her upper front teeth as a result of bridgework. it has been several weeks and the pain has come and gone. However yesterday herllips and chheks swelled up again and she is in a great deal of pain. the pain medicine isn't helping her. is this normal and what can she do? Doctor: HiWith your quwry, dont know how did you confirmed it was a hematoma however such lesions must be clinically examined and treated for good prognosis otherwise it may act as nidus for infection.Hope your daughter is nit having any other systemic complications like bleeding disorders my sincere suggestion is visi your doctor and know the reason for sudden increase in swelling which is not a normal clinical sign.Hope this helps you
