Can Lisinopril Cause Red And Inflamed Gums And Sores In Mouth?

I just started taking lisinopril 2 weeks ago. My gums started getting red, and now are inflamed and I have canker sores all over that side of my mouth. Now, my jaw on that side is hurting, and my face is swollen. Could it be the lisinopril causing it? That is the only thing different that I have done.

Hello, Welcome, Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query , as you are taking medicine Lisinopril , now you have inflamed gums , cancer sore also dont worry it can be due to medication ,

You do can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day

Apply ointment on gums GUM PAINT two - three times a day

Take one capsule Vitamin B complex once daily for 5 days,

For medicine Lisinopril you are taking can consult your doctor

If you wont get relief then consult dentist also for Oral Prophylaxis

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
