Question 1

how can i stop my gums from inflammation and swelling?

Accepted Answer

Find the cause.: You need to find out what's causing the problem, and treat that. Sometimes a good cleaning is all that's necessary, but you need to find out, because gum inflammation can eventually lead to loss of teeth.

Question 2

what should i do or take because my cheek is swelling because there is some inflammation in my gums. i can't go to the dentist yet because they are per appointment and next week is the available sched. hoping you can help me. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: If your cheek is swelling it is a bit more than gingival inflammation... appears you have an infection which is spreading either from periodontal or endodontic origin. The dentist who you have an appointment with can either see you sooner as an emergency or prescribe antibiotics to help control the infection until you can be seen for treatment. All the best...

Question 3

is it normal to have inflammed gumline in the area of extracted tooth 2nd day after extraction?white gum. no pain of extraction site or cheek swelling

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Inflammation will increase for a day or 2 after the procedure and then go back down over the next week or so.  For specifics in your case, follow up with your provider ;-)

Question 4

how do u stop gums pain/swelling?

Accepted Answer

You need help: Gum pain and swelling is a serious symptom, particularly if bleeding is present.  Bacteria have created infection that leads to open wounds that if you had them on your hand, you would be very concerned.  In the mouth they are hidden from view.  You just feel pain and see bleeding.  You are at risk for transient bacteremias damaging blood vessel lining in your whole body.  See a dentist/hygienist.

Question 5

i have swollen gum on the side of my mouth it is huge and very painful. how do i stop the swelling and pain?

Accepted Answer

See a dentist: The swelling appears to be caused by an infection, from either the gum or a tooth. A dentist in your area can assess the situation to determine what treatment you need and prescribe the proper medication. In the meantime take otc pain meds.

Question 6

i've been having occasional pain in my right testicle.  it is very excruciating but lasts about 30 min.  no swelling or inflammation. what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Time for Urologist: It could either be torsing ("twisting") and un-torsing, temporarily cutting off the blood supply, or early epididymitis. If tender to touch, more likely the 2nd. Both get worse w/time, 1st can cause loss of testicle--go to er or urologist for evaluation & ultrasound to examine.

Question 7

for about 1 week alone in the evenings after dinner i have felt a sensation of inflammation or swelling in the face on the left side.
what could it be

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Assuming a teen is eating and drinking different things each day of the week, facial symptoms should not be directly due to the food. That means symptoms could be due to the eating process:  biting, chewing, salivating, swallowing, etc...  One not-so-rare problem is partial blockage of a salivary duct. That can cause some swelling in a saliva gland during eating because some saliva can't get out.

Question 8

can you please tell me how inflammation and swelling differ?

Accepted Answer

Similar: Swelling is the outer, visible manifestation of inflammation in many cases. Inflammation depending upon the the cause and anatomical place may not show swelling. In general though, inflammation is the accumulation of fluids brought to the area due to trauma, disease etc, swelling would be a symptom of inflammation. Good luck.

Question 9

can portion of the vas deferns which runs in groin become inflammed without swelling ?can inflammation happen without swelling?

Accepted Answer

Swelling & inflammat: It's impossible to have inflammation without swelling because inflammation leads to increase in vessel permeability which leads to fluid collection in the inflamed tissue.
