What Causes Swollen Gums After Using Hcg Drops For Weight Loss?
Hi, I am using natural homeopathic hcg drops for weight loss. I am 43, female and have been using the drops for 7 days. My gums have become swollen and sore but this they say may be due to the vitamin b drops so I have stopped taking those and they are slowly getting better. Also my gland under my jaw are slightly swollen and a little sore plus a swollen lum the size of a 5 cent piece on my jaw lower cheek. Is this due to the hcg drops? and if so is it dangerous to continue with them. Thank you

thanks for your query, since you are giving history of swollen gums after using those drops it could be allergic stomatitis..or it can be because of the deposits on the teeth. the swollen lump over the lower jaw cheek could be an enlarged lymphnode secondary to gum infection. you can discontinue those drops....consult your oral physician and get it ruled out... i hope my answer will help you.. take care..
