Question 1

Last week I had a sore throat, and it was pretty red. My uvula swelled up and felt like it was touching my tongue. Im feeling better now, but my uvula still looks enlarged and the tip seems black. I also noticed that my right tonsil is a little swollen. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal after a sore throat?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

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 5

I've been dealing with really bad tooth pain for the last 2 days. The doctor prescribed Ketorol DT painkillers, but its still hurting. Should I be concerned or is there something else I should try?

Accepted Answer

pain could be because of tooth decay you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. Get an x-ray done if required. If there is cavity get it filled. If there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated.

I have swelling on the inside of my cheek near the last tooth on the right side of my lower jaw. It's making me feel really uncomfortable. Do you know what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing swelling due to an infection in your mouth. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort and inflammation. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce swelling. If the swelling persists or worsens, please consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.
