Pain in upper and lower gum
Hi,
Currently my dad is suffering from severe gum pain in the right side. He is also diabetic.
As per prescription, Amoxyclov and zerodol is being consumed, but it is not of much help.
Can someone please help with letting us know if there is some better medication.
Also the teeths are healthy.
Thanks in advance.
