Chills, Cold Sweats, Canker Sores Inside Lips, Sore Gums, White Crust On Tongue. Cure?
I have chills for about two days now and find it difficult to warm up and even in a warm bath it doesn t help. The chills will eventually break into sweats for a short period of time then back to feeling chilled. Have canker sores on the inside of my lips and my gums feel sore and swollen even difficult to brush as too painful. Also a white film on my tongue . No sinus issues but an occasional cough . Any info in how to treat this would be greatly appreciated

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your gums are inflamed causing gingivitis.
The white film or sores may be arised from aphthous ulcers.
I would advice you to visit a dentist and get thorough scaling done.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Take plenty of fluids and water.
Nutritious food has to be taken in.
Vitamin becosules,c,iron and folic acid tablets has to be administered.
Use soft interdental toothbrush and clean your teeth in back-forth and up-down motion.
Take care.
