How Can Swelling On The Face Be Treated?

I went to dentist yesterday to have my teeth checked cos i was punched in the mouth. My front tooth seems loose. The dentist checked and said i have gum infection and my teeth is dirty.. She cleaned my teeth and gave 4 injections before that . now white like thing is coming out from my gums. Why? I have used the mouthwash given by the dentist twice yesterday and twice today. She has advised for only once in the morning and once at night. My face is also swollen. What can be done?

Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.


White like thing coming out of gums seems to be due to gum infection causing pus discharge.

As the infection will gradually subside the discharge will subside.

You should consult your Dentist again and ask for a prescription of antibiotic like Metronidazole.
Also chew a Vitamin C pellet daily.
Continue doing warm saline gargles.

Swollen face can be due to punching and inflammation of soft tissues.
Do cool compresses over it and take anti inflammatory painkillers like Advil.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
