Have Swollen Upper Mouth. No Medication Till Now. What Could Be The Reason?
I felt some discomfort in my mouth the other day. Like an itchy type of swolleness on the upper side of the inside of my mouth and didn't think anything of it but today when looking in my mouth, the swollen feeling is gone and the skin is flat but almost black! It's got a purple/red tinge to it too. What could this be? I'm scared. I'm 20 years old and I believe myself to be pretty healthy..

Chances of any abscess or trauma associated with the swelling has to be ruled out.
Treatment has to be planned based on the diagnosis.
Meanwhile,maintain oral hygiene well.
Avoid intake of hot/spicy foods.
Take complete course of antibiotics.
Gargle frequently using warm saline or betadine rinse.
Please do visit a dentist for further treatment plan.
Hope this helps.
