Suggest Treatment For Painful Opening On The Gum
My daughter has an opening on the side of her gum at the back of her mouth where the wisdom teeth suppose to grow. It's small and was painful but not as much anymore. At one point it was bleeding but stop. She can't eat anything on that side of my mouth. Because when she does it's very painful. Can you give me any advice as to what I should do?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
The eruption of the third molar or the wisdom tooth maybe the cause for this pain and difficulty in this side of the oral cavity.
For the pain ,she can take a ibuprofen (if she is not allergic to any medicine),
Do salt water gargling.
Please visit a oral surgeon and get a radio graph done to know the exact location of the wisdom tooth .If it is not in a correct position she can have it extracted.
Keep the area of that tooth clean to avoid any infection .
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From your history it appears that probably you are suffering from gum pain. Most common cause of gum pain is gingival inflammation, which is due to accumulation of plapue and calculus around your tooth.visit your nearby dentist, get the xray done and go for complete oral prophylaxis.
Wish you good health
