What Causes Swelling In Gums?
hi my name is skyler im 15 a few days ago my lymphnodes started swelling on my right side i found out it was an ear and throat infection today is my first day on antibiotic. now my gums near my back molars have swollen up rather larger it hurts to create suction or chew. now a while ago my doctor said he was 95% sure i was born without wisdom teeth so thats not the problem i wanna know is the swollen gland undermy neck making my gums swell there too?

has your doctor taken the xray to be sure that you are not getting any wisdom teeth.complete the course of the antibiotic and rinse thrice with a good mouthwash.if you are having more pain then go for apinkiller like aceclofenac plus paracetamol combination
