Q. Please suggest a medicine for swollen gums near the area of wisdom tooth?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read through your complaint and the relevant details.

• The swelling of the gums is because of the infection around the erupting wisdom tooth. Also, there will be clogged food particles within the gums in that region.

• To get rid of the pain, I suggest tablet Ketorol DT (Ketorolac tromethamine) 10 mg thrice daily for one or two days. For the first dose, dissolve one tablet in half a glass of normal water and drink it straight away. You will feel better in 15 minutes.

• Also gargle with lukewarm salt water thrice daily. But, do not brush aggressively or rub salt over the gums.

• However, there is a swelling. So, you cannot expect it to resolve itself because I have not suggested you antibiotics. It is better that you visit your nearby dentist, check an x-ray for the tooth and go ahead with the antibiotics treatment and wisdom tooth extraction accordingly.
