General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some problem in your teeth, infection in gums, tartered teeth or ulcer in mouth.
Consult oral surgeon and get examined.
Keep oral hygiene proper.
Do tooth brush daily two times a day, morning and at night.
Ok and take care.
