Hi,
The condition is temporary. I would suggest you to:
- Use warm water saline rinses to improve circulation in that area
- Use anti-bacterial mouth wash Providone iodine to enhance healing
- Use tooth brush with soft bristles
- Take a course of antibiotics such as Clopidogeral
If symptoms keeps on persisting visit oral physician once and get it examined completely. Start treatment after thorough examination.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
