Q. Why do I get swollen gums at the back of my last tooth?
Hello doctor,
I got a swollen gum at the back of my last tooth on my left side. It feels like a new teeth is coming up and the pain sometimes extends to ear also. I can remember that I got this pain few years back on my right side and it went away by itself. What should I do now? What is the reason behind this?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- It must be wisdom tooth eruption happening. As the tooth makes its place to come out, you are getting pain.
- Tooth breaks open through the gums, so there is swelling in the gum.
- Do lukewarm saline mouth rinse three to four times daily. If the pain is unbearable then take painkiller.
- Apply local anesthetic gel before having food; it will give relief while having food.

|Hello doctor,
I am suffering from cough and ear pain now. When I put my hand today at the back of the ear I found a small lymph node, I am not sure but it is not painful at all. Are these symptoms of the swollen gum?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- The cough is not related to the wisdom tooth. The swelling of the lymph node can be due to wisdom tooth.
- Continue with lukewarm saline mouth rinse. If the problem persists then immediately consult a dentist for physical evaluation.
- If required consult an ENT specialist for the swelling behind the ear.
