Lower gum pain
Hi, currently my sister is experiencing pain in lower gum (back of teeth) from past 3-4 days. It's making her cranky! She says she experienced such pain earlier before her period. Once she gets then the pain automatically goes. Is there any pain relief she can take for gum pain ? Or anything specific food to avoid before period.
