How To Heal Severe Pain In Left Gum With Soreness And Swelling With History Of Cardiomyopathy And Implanted Defibrillator And Pacer?

Hello, Yes Please, I am having pretty severe pain in my lower left gum where my wisdom tooth was removed over 35+ years ago. I do not notice any sores, there may be minimal swelling but on palpation it is VERY painful. About 6 months ago I had a molar on the same side removed and have had a piece or two of tooth surface through the gums but the pain/irritation from that was totally different. Help! I am taking tramadol for the pani, but obviously want to resolve the issue. I do have a cardiac history of Cardiomyopathy and have an implanted Defibrillator & Pacer.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Get an X-ray done of the region.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
If there is presence of infection curettage and cleaning of the region can be performed.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.

Hope this helps out,

Take care!
