A member asked:

Why do my gums/cheeks hurt so badly after the flu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinus congestion, fl: when you have flu, sinus congestion, and medications you take for may have antihistamine which can cause dryness of your mouth. Lack of moisture may cause your gums feel sore. Good luck.
