Hi I developed a sore throat 3 days ago, unlike any sore throat I ve had before, it was accompanied with raw, painful, receding gums. I went to a doctor and was prescribed augmentin , though the doc was not sure that this would help with my gums... Do you think that the gum issues are related to my sore throat, if not what can I do to help my gums? I m scared they are going to recede beyond a point of salvaging them. Thanks
