hi....my age is 21 years old.... height 6 ft weight 58 kgs.... i have pain near my lower left wisdom tooth since 5 days. the gums have swelled up and i cant open my jaw as well. my jaw is locked. am taking droxyl 500 and dichloran-a right now.... but not much recovery yet . as soon as the pain killers effects die down , the pain is same as before. my gums do not bleed, but they bleed a lil if i press very hard at them n near the tooth. is this normal and under control ?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain, swelling and limited mouth opening could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (periodontal infection) leading to space infection. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. You can take a course of antibiotics and analgesics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
