Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 23 years old. I have chronic gum and tooth pain. I have had it for four weeks. Paracetamol and Nurofen tablets are not helping. I also have swollen gums around two teeth where the pain is also present. I have not visited a dentist since I was seven years old due to phobia. I had undergone tooth removal after an emergency appointment. Using Bonjela for the gum issue does not help. I had a filling done last year, but it fell out four weeks post that.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your question, and I can understand your concern.

As per your history, it seems to me that you have chronic periodontitis, and you need medication for that. I suggest you take the following medications:

I suggest you take this medication at least for a week. You will get relief from this medication. Make sure you are not allergic to any of these drugs, and also, I suppose you do not have any sort of medical history too.

In case you feel any further complications or if any necessary information is required, visit my profile back. I will be happy to help.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
