Why Are My Lips Growing In Addition To The White Peeling Gums?
I had a toothache and inflammation of my gums, so I brushed my teeth and gargled with hydrogen peroxide and water and now my lips are 15x bigger in addition to my white peeling gums, my lips also have white patches on them in the inside. What's wrong with me? Will this go down? Do I need to go to the dentist asap?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have toothache , swollen lip with white patch , for this Toothache it might be due to carious or Periodontal problem , white patche on lip can be due to fungal infection , you consult dentist and go for local examination and get necessary investigations done
And dont do hydrogen peroxide gargle , consult dentist and go for Oral Prophylaxis
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health
Regards
