Gum swollen
4 days back i ate some hot food stuff. After that My upper inner side tooth gum gets slightly swollen. I also feel burning sensation in my inner mouth. Please advice on food stuff and medicine I can take until it gets cure.
Hello,swollen gums could be because of food lodged in between teeth. Visit a dentist and get your scaling and polishing done. Brush your teeth twice daily, night brushing is very important. Floss regularly. Rinse after every meal. Visit dentist every 6 months.

Hello Sir, sometimes hot food can cause burning of the gums. It will heal on its own need not to worry. You can apply Mucopain gel/ Anabel gel 2-3 times in a day. Strict to soft diet and avoid something very hot and spicy. You can also apply this meal before having food if you have difficulty while eating.

Hello Sir, Greetings for the day. The hot food must have caused some burn. Due to the burn there is damage to the gums which causes burning sensation. Apply mucopain on the affected area 3 to 4 times a day half an hour before meals to relieve the pain.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist for confirmation of the burn nd necessary treatment if required.
