Suggest Treatment For Painful Swollen Spot On Gums

I have this painful swollen spot on my gums just behind my morlar. I had my wisdom teeth pulled at a very early age but it looks and feels like another tooth is pushing thru! Its causing me to have migranes and my whole left side of my face is hurting badly. It hurts when i eat,talk,drink and swallow. This just happened in one day while i was at work...what could this be??

Hello thanks for consulting at hcm..

Painful swollen gums could be due to pocket formation resulting in periodontal abscess... You will need an iopa radiograph to check for any root remnant or is bony spicules present, post extraction of wisdom teeth..

If bony spicules or root remnant are pressing on the nerve you could have pain on that side..
Do salt water gargle thrice daily,, drink warm water..

Please consult a oral physician for a check up and treatment..

Hope it helps,,take care...
