U are suffering from cheek bite due to upper wisdom teeth. Which maybe buccally (cheek side) placed and causing trauma to cheek. And finally swollen gums.
So u need to clean ur gums with tooth brush or interdental brush after applying gel. But brush hurting than don't do this. U apply only gel and Also warm saline rinsing for every two hours may give you relief from swollen gums.
Next Steps
After lockdown consult oral and maxillofacial surgeon for remedy of cheek bite.
Health Tips
- Apply Rexidine M Forte 6-8 times daily
