Suggest Remedy For Swollen And Red Inferior Labial Frenulum
Hello hope someone can help?
The past couple of days my lower inferior labial frenulum has been very swollen and red sore? It hurts when I open my mouth of try to touch it? I've tried putting salt on it to calm down the pain but it's made it worse? Help?

Hello and thank you for your question. It sounds like you may have an infection in the frenulum. Use cool water swishes and anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to calm down the pain and swelling but if it is still red, swollen and painful or if you develop a fever you need to see a doctor for antibiotics. I hope it is better soon. Thank you for using HCM.
