Hello

Thanks for consulting hcm

Read your query as you have swelling in gums this can be due to eruption of wisdom tooth or due to impacted wisdom tooth . When there is slight pain, infection lymph node enlarged .
For this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for examination and investigation iopa xray of wisdom tooth for evaluation of position of wisdom tooth .
Inmeantime do warm saline gargle 2 -3 times a day and you can consult dentist and go for curretage .

Hope this will help you.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having eruption of wisdom tooth or having some infection over that part giving swelling on the site and enlarged tender lymph node on that side.
Consult dentist and get examined.
You might require one course of antibiotic for 3-5 days.
Do warm water or listerine gargles.
Ok and take care.
