Avatar f tn Hello about a month or so ago i had performed unprotected oral sex on two different women. A week or twp later my gums became really sensitive and sore as well as my inner lip. There also seems to be soreness on my tongue that comes for a day and then goes away but comes back sometimes. The gums between my front two teeth are the most sensitive. Could this be herpes? It hasn't gone away yet but ive noticed no outbreak externally.
Avatar m tn Hello, Such sore swollen gums can be due to gingivitis,infections,malnutrition and vitamin C deficiency,pregnancy or sensitivity to toothpaste or mouthwash . Take vitamin C supplements for some days and change your toothpaste brand and avoid using mouthwashes if your swollen gums are caused by sensitivity to toothpaste or mouthwash.Also have good oral hygiene. If the symptoms persist then pls consult a dentist and get gingivitis ruled out. Hope it helps.
Avatar m tn m still having difficulties eating because of 1.) my gums, tongue and lips are still getting more swollen and more sore-filled 2.) i still have a somewhat uneasy stomach accompanied with a loss of appetite...
Avatar f tn t practice as good oral hygene as I should of and felt like my lips and gums were resting on plaque. I also bit my lip and cheek the same night. A couple of days later I had what I believe to be canker sores on my lip and cheek. I went to a health center because my doctor can't see me until next week and she said it is a 50/50 chance it's herpes or a cold sore but wouldn't do a swab because the clinic doesn't determine them to be stds.
5432782 tn?1368806956 I remember having a painful sore on the end of my tongue, and an unbelievably painful lil sore on my gums, and maybe even one onthe inside of my cheek sometimes. I was finding it so painful to eat. Then I tried Desert Essence Tea-Tree Oil Mouth-wash, but I bet any natural product that had quality tea-tree would work, but this one has worked the best for me, I tried one other similar. I liked this company, it was only natural, and didn't sting at all.

Avatar m tn t have any bleeding gums or canker sore or open cuts or cracked lips during my kiss. Later i came to know on same day from another dancer, that first dancer whom i kissed is druggist and so i may get some disease. I am not sure whether she (first dancer) is a HIV +ve patient & having bleeding gums or open sore. I don't feel any blood on my mouth after kissing. I am very afraid of HIV infections.

Avatar f tn I developed an ulcer like sore on my gum 3 days ago. I have some swelling in my gums near the sore. Wondering if this is another outbreak or maybe something else? I've started flossing more regularly and used listerine zero daily for 3 days prior to the sore showing up. Just confused because I've had coldsores since the initial outbreak and didn't expect to see anything like this again. Ugh.
200956 tn?1425591539 Or go out and buy Biotene toothpaste, mouthwash, and gel. I get mout ulcers, bleeding gums, and odd sorts of abrasions on my lips and inside my mouth. Using Biotene clears it all up quite rapidly. Drink more water.
Avatar m tn Hello Dr, I just noticed my gums bleed only during brushing. But bleeding stops immediately after brushing. I don't have bleeding gums always and my gums didn't bleed before i kissed the dancer. Is there any HIV exposure?. Please advise.
Avatar f tn It started with a broken tooth that got sore, then the gums, then my cheeks and tongue swelled up nd inside of mt lips, I developed a white sore on the end of my tongue and it split open from top to underneath. Really bad headaches nd now my throat is sore and my lungs are tight. I gargle and brush with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, which keeps it somewhat under control. What do you thinK? O, and I am extremely fatigued. I almost forgot to mention that I have red spots on my palate.
Avatar m tn Obviously, it was not an open mouth kiss, but the type where the mouth remains closed and the lips are in contact for about a second or so. This really freaked me out, as I am not used to such forwardness. What makes me nervous is my hand she was holding was really dry and had a small cut on it from the dry skin. It wasn’t actively bleeding, but you could see red inside the “opening” where it was exposing the insides some. Also, my lips were very chapped.
Avatar m tn It could just be because they are in my mouth that they appear different, but the cold sores on my lips and in my mouth are very persistant. I am on week 3 of the cold sore on my lip and about 5 days into the ones in my mouth. I have taken Valtrex and have used nearly an entire tube of Denavir on my lips. What is a common plan B for treating persistant cold sores once Valtrex and Denavir do not produce the desired results? Thanks for all of your help.
Avatar m tn (This fracture feels like it goes all the way down to the base of the gum area but is more subtle further down). Whenever I smile or move my lips it is sore. There is no bone protruding from the area and no bleeding/swelling. My question is, over time will the bone underneath the gums restructure and smooth out or if not, what procedure would be done to correct the issue. I don't want to go in for an un-necessary procedure if it will heal on its own.
Avatar n tn Chills, mild fever that came and went; still bottom gums inflamed and now spreading to upper gums. SORE THROAT developed quickly. Days 4-5: Noticed white bumps on inner bottom lip and then most recently 2-3 tiny painful whit bumps on tip of tongue. STILL inflamed gums, top and bottom. STILL sore throat. What do I have? I've been told by doc I have mild pharyngitis, but this was on day 2 so he didn't see any white bumps in mouth.
Avatar m tn This being the case and the atmosphere there, I was with a girl I met there and we have kissed (firstly briefly kissed lips on lips, then french kissed for a few times, each lasted for around 4 to 5 seconds). After that, I went to her place and she started to perform oral on me, but I suddenly feel it was not right to do this so I immediately pulled away, so she literally performed oral on me for like a second or so.
Avatar f tn Also when I open my mouth wide where my upper and lower jaws connect also hurts and kinda clicks. The color of my gums are fine and dont seem to be swollen, I just have pain. I've actually noticed to small bumps on the outer side of my mouth, close to where my lower gums hurt, that have also been painful. Please Help!

Avatar f tn I have loose gums which bleeds only when used brush with hard bristles.. & in Nov 2013 I had deep kissing with a guy... whom I don't know had bleeding gums or not though he had a closed wound on his lips.. so is it possible that I can get infection from that person if he had HIV..I didnt had any of the symptoms of acute HIV infection... except for I had sore throat in December ( which was a cold month).
Avatar m tn or even if she was bleeding on her gums or lips while she was sucking and biting on my lip..
Avatar n tn I have had a cold sore recently and then I had an ulcer looking thing in my mouth at the base of my gums and on my gum a little. I have read on here from some doctors that you can't get oral herpes but I have read in medical books that you can. So, I am CONFUSED. How would I have spread it to my mouth. I have had HSV-1 for 12 years now and never had any in my mouth. Also in the back of my throat look like tiny blisters. I aslo have them on the roof of my mouth.
Avatar n tn I was seeing a man and we made out(kissing and some biting on the lips) a few times. (I had chapped lips and some kinda open wounds in my gums because I have really sensitive gums and bleeding almost every time I brush my teeth) After almost two weeks later I got sick. It was like a light flu. I had sore throat, muscle pain, fatigue. No fever, no night sweats. It last about 4-5 days. I didn't really care about it until he told me once he had unprotected sex with someone and got HPV.
Avatar m tn I met woman end of last december and we had some deep kissing roughly. I have bad habit of picking dry skin from lips and I often have bleeding cuts on my lips. My gums also bleed easily. I started to have following symptoms middle of March: Sore throat Body ache Lost fat from butt and legs White tongue Night sweats I had super big stress same time so these could also because of it. 12 weeks after my risk situation I tested negative. Can I trust that?
