Question: There's a piece of meat stuck in my gums, & the gums have swollen over it.. How do I ease the pain.?

I used floss (the plastic ones with the pick @ the end), & it didn't work.. I think I may have accidentally pushed the meat up further.. I had a piece of pork chop earlier.. I don't think I can sleep with this pain.. It hurts so bad.. I hope it's not infected..Health Question & Answer

Answers:

first try to take some ibuprofen, that is an anti-inflammatory.... it will hopefully cause the swelling to go down.. Have you tried to ice it.?.? That may help, too.... If the swelling doesn't go down, you may need to head to the ER and have them do something about it..Health Question & Answer
