This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have pain and swelling in gums and sometimes bleeding as well.

Answered by Dr. Bharat Joshi

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please do not worry. Thank you very much for sending pictures and for making my diagnosis clear. See, it is gingivitis along with a traumatic ulcer. Gingivitis is due to the accumulation of plaque and while the ulcer is due to hot food inhalation. I am prescribing some medications. Please follow these medications and report me if no improvement is there.

The Probable causes

Plaque and calculus, while hot food caused the ulcer.

Probable diagnosis

Plaque and calculus, while hot food caused the ulcer.

Treatment plan

Medications are followed by scaling (whenever you find the time). Apply Metrogyl gel (I hope you are not allergic to Metronidazole) twice a day for five days over the swelled gums. Use Rexidine mouthwash (0.2 % Chlorhexidine) twice a day for five days. Dologel (Choline Salicylate and Lidocaine) over the ulcer twice a day for five days. Multivitamin therapy (which so ever suits you) once a day for one month.

Preventive measures

Warm saline rinses six-hourly a day for seven days, and avoid eating very hot food from a traumatic ulcer site.

Regarding follow up

Please follow my instructions, and do an update if there is no improvement. Regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your prescription.

I want to talk to you through video call or normal call and want to tell you some more issues because it is impossible to take a picture from each angle of the mouth. And also, it is not bleeding continuously only once or twice. Thank you.
