My Mother has an infection in her mouth.
My mother has an infection in her mouth because of which she is finding it very difficult to eat. She has an extra wisdom tooth gum due to which the entire area in her mouth became white. The gums have become reddish and whenever she is eating something, all the food is getting accumulated in the hollow of the gums. Please do provide me some solution to this problem.

Kindly consult a maxillofacial surgeon for your problem. Meanwhile ask her to rinse her mouth 3 to 4 times a day using warm water with salt in it. This will provide her with some relief as it will help in reducing the inflammation.
