Swelling & pain in gums
Experiencing swelling,pain due to some injury/may be infection causing abscess, leading to pain in lymph nodes , opening of mouth.
Location of gums is behind third molar & it has slight over growth for years.
This has many times caused it to hit by upper teeth or some hard food. Usually after some days swelling, it used to subside.
This time , it has inflamed and sustained. I m on ibrufen 400mg every 6 hrs & erythromycin 500mg also every 6 hrs, since thursday 7pm. Symptoms only moderated. I understand even for going to dentist to check gum cleaning/surgery etc, infection must subside.
Whats you opinion on prescription to be taken/being taken ?

Well going through your query and repeated nature of trouble what you must understand is that medicines are meant only for symptomatic relief and not a definitive treatment . Further I would emphasise here that self medication and delay may only complicate the procedure , so my advice is to visit an oral surgeon and undergo the necessary procedure .
