Is it a mouth infection?!


Question: Is it a mouth infection.?
a few days ago i bit the inside of my cheek while chewing. the wound did not heal as they usually do, it has been 3 days and now it is swelling and i feel pain when applying pressure to the area. and just this morning i also discovered a little wound on a part of my gum (close to my wisdom tooth) it has similar symptoms, but the strange part is that i never pierced my gum with anything. what are those.? gingivitis.? what is the best solution or is it sever enough for me to go see a doctor.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
it sounds like the bite became infected and caused an abscess on your gum which is your gingival, but is not gingivitis. rinse with salt and water, if its no better in a week see a dr for antibiotics (not usually necessary.Health Question & Answer
