Question 1

I had my wisdom teeth removed five days ago but couldnt take the pain medication because it made me vomit. The next day, I noticed a hard lump in my cheek that hasnt gone away. Ive been icing it and taking amoxicillin to prevent infection, but theres still a bad taste in my mouth, and the pain is unbearable. I went back to the oral surgeon, but they just checked my mouth and told me to rest. What should I do?

Yes you can use it.

Question 2

After I brush my teeth and clean my tongue, I notice small spots of blood on my tongue, but they disappear after I rinse my mouth. Theres also slight swelling on the sides of my tongue, but it doesnt hurt. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

Could be due to minor trauma from brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush. The slight swelling on the sides could be due to irritation. To help with this issue, you can try using a softer toothbrush and being gentler while brushing your tongue. You can also use a mouthwash with an antibacterial agent to help reduce any inflammation. If the issue persists, you can try using an oral gel containing benzocaine to help with any discomfort.

Question 3

Ive been noticing too much saliva in my mouth recently. I also drink a lot of water throughout the day. Could there be a specific reason for this, or is it something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation or sialorrhea, can be caused by various factors, including drinking excessive water, which can stimulate saliva production; other possible reasons include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), oral infections, hormonal changes, anxiety, or certain medications; consider consulting a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss ways to manage excessive saliva production.

You may have had a case of acute pharyngitis with uvulitis, and now you are experiencing some residual inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and inflammation, you can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help with the swelling and discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms, including sudden severe pain on the left side of your forehead, upper gums, and teeth, accompanied by feverishness, suggest a possible dental issue, such as an abscessed tooth or infected gums, or potentially a trigeminal neuralgia or sinusitis; schedule an urgent appointment with your dentist
