swollen

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 Bleeding gums is also the result of vitamin C deficiency. I would suggest you to include some citrous fruits or edibles rich in vitamin C to combat the deficiency. But make sure that you consult a doc immediately.
Avatar f tn prescribed an ointment over phone for him yesterday and it is helping the one on his tongue but his gums are still really swollen on the top so much so it coming through his front 2 teeth. I am hoping he just needs another couple days on medicine. Has anyone else ever experienced this? He is worried it isn't going to shrink back to normal.
Avatar n tn For over a year I have been experiencing sore and sometimes inflamed and swollen gums. I have seen both my dentist and hygienist and we have been unable to solve the problem or what is causing it. The pain is now there more often than not now, whereas before it was intermittent. I have not managed to pin point what may cause the symptoms.
Avatar f tn Long-term deficiency can lead to a calcium deficiency, alcoholic hallucinations, unusual face and eye movement, alopecia (baldness), swollen gums, and lesions of the gums. The symptoms of magnesium deficiency are identical with many of the symptoms of thyroid disease, especially hyperthyroidism. A slight deficiency and you will notice slight depression and lack of well-being.
Avatar f tn This can be because of poor oral hygiene, deficiency of vitamins, drug allergy, disorders of the gums and teeth etc. Proper oral care is the key to good oral health. Also taking of multi-vitamins and vitamin C, use of soothing gels may help. Also it is best to consult your Doctor for an examination as your problem is since several months. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, white patchy coated tongue is seen in many conditions. (vitamin C deficiency), bacterial, viral or fungal infections arise in the gums and teeth, producing acids and toxins that usually erode and cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and white tongue also. The inflammation makes gums swollen, and also affects tongue by white coating. If the tongue is covered by a coating, it may indicate the presence of toxins in the stomach, small intestine or large intestine.
Avatar f tn They should have told her this is due to vitamin C deficiency caused by the hematochromatosis. However, vitamin C increases iron absorption, so generally it is not recommended a person take vitamin C, but instead treat the iron overload. I will send you a link and info.
Avatar f tn My results showed deficiency in vitamin b12 -200 and vitamin d-15 for which I started taking vitamin d3 (once a week) and vitamin b12 capsule (Daily 1 capsule for 15 days). Also my general ENT doctor diagnosed me with GERD and told me to take medication for same which is now ok. Also am taking Homeopathic medicine for my acidity as I hv a recurrent problem with acidity since many years.
Avatar f tn Previous to the sore throat, I had been experiencing gums that were red and swollen, and the skin on my gums peels off. Also the area below my gums, the crevice between the gum and cheek, in the 4 areas below my molars the skin is very irritated with sores and the skin over top of the sores is white and peels away. I also have sores on the side of my tongue, where it attaches to the back of my throat is red, irritated and white skin forms over it, but it peels away easily (like the crevices).
Avatar f tn d take high potency multi-Vit B with breakfast and lunch, plus, perhaps for a month or two, a bit extra of the separate B vitamins whose deficiency symptoms you have, plus a good multi-vitamin-multi mineral combination. When you see and feel improvement you can drop the additional separate B's, but continue with the rest of them. B vits tend to rev most people up with more energy, so I don't take them after 1 or 2 PM. Make a list of your symptoms: appearance, feel, taste.
Avatar m tn The symptoms could be due to allergy to something you are eating or to vitamin B12 deficiency or iron deficiency or due to an infected tooth (caries). Since a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net please consult your doctor regarding this. Hope this helps. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar m tn HI, Bleeding gums can be because of deficiency of vitamins especially vitamin C. Also poor oral hygiene, infection in the gums can cause bleeding. Hence gentle brushing, use of mouth washes and taking of supplements of vitamin C and multi-vitamins will help. Consult your Doctor. Hope this helps. Take care and good luck.
Avatar f tn ve been using it for 20 years just like my mother. But the bleeding is another matter and shows a vitamin deficiency.
Avatar n tn It must be continually replenished or symptoms of deficiency can manifest. It is estimated that vitamin B12 deficiency affects 10 percent to 15 percent of individuals over the age of 60. Remember, if you take an acid-blocking medication, you are guaranteed to have low vitamin B12. In fact, it's rare that someone on an antacid medication does not have a severe vitamin B12 deficiency. There are many reasons why you can be low in vitamin B12 and feeling the many effects of the lack of it.
Avatar m tn If your vitamin B12 deficiency is mild, you may not have symptoms or you may not notice them. Some people may think they are just the result of growing older. As the anemia gets worse, you may: Feel weak, tired, and lightheaded. Have pale skin. Have a sore, red tongue or bleeding gums. Feel sick to your stomach and lose weight. Have diarrhea or constipation. If the level of vitamin B12 stays low for a long time, it can damage your nerve cells.
Avatar f tn In gingivitis there are swollen gums, bad breath, easily bleeding of the gums during flossing or brushing and gums may appear red-colored. Scurvy can lead to swollen bleeding gums, weakness, joint pains and muscle pains. In periodontitis there is soft tissue and bone deterioration with tender swollen gums. These are only few possibilities. For exact diagnosis and treatment a dental examination is necessary. Do keep me posted. Best luck and take care!
1843713 tn?1318819922 I was recently diagnosed with deficiency in vitamin D, My doctor prescribed me vitamin D 1.25 mg. She said that my vitamin level is at 15% and it's supposed to be at 30 and above to be normal. my ankles get swollen I'm losing a lot of hair and it's very hard for me to lose weight and I don't know if this might be caused by that deficiency. I am also more concerned about it since I started reading previous post. I will appreciate and seeking for your advice, thank you!!!
Avatar f tn s no sore anywhere, just redness around my gums and painful swollen bottom lip (I put the hydrocortisone on the left only.
Avatar m tn (D3 level more important than D2) The only blood test that can diagnose vitamin D deficiency is a 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25 OH vitamin D). Unfortunately, some doctors are still ordering the wrong test, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D. Magnesium level: have your Doctor do a Magnesium RBC test. It's not a standard test doctors run, but the only accurate blood test for magnesium. Magnesium serrum which most doctors run is not accurate.
Avatar f tn Vitamin D and magnesium deficiency are common with hypothyroidism. Vitamin D deficiency will also lead to calcium deficiency. A severe magnesium deficiency will cause a calcium deficiency as well. The chvostek sign shows a twitch of the facial muscles following gentle tapping over the facial nerve in front of the ear. This sign is used to diagnose calcium deficiency but will also show up with a severe magnesium deficiency. Vitamin D resistance >>> http://www.livestrong.
