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.
I tried brushing more often and using chlorhexidine mouthwash but no different, BUT after reading about linear gingival erythema (hiv gingivitis) and its treatment with flagyl (metronidazole) I started taking this antibiotic a couple of days and the redness on the back 2 teeth and one in the middle has rapidly turned back to healthy pink (no effect on front gums). Could flagyl have this effect on normal gingivitis after just 2 days or does this signify hiv?
They gave me a full teeth wash and remove my molar and they gave me a prescription for it. They gave me a pill that i have to take twice each day (i think 12hr each one) for a week. After taking the pills, I still had red gums. I gave them a call and they said that they cant give me more medication because those pills was strong enough to heal it. What should I do now?
Hi, my gums have been bleeding and recently I've noticed dark spots on them. I've been diagnosed with what my dentist called "a little gingivitis" around a year ago. Is this a sign it has gotten worse or is it something completely different.
I visited the doctor Monday with a vaginal infection and was given Metronidazole to start taking. I went back for results Wednesday and I was confirmed to have BV. My doctor then gave me Erythromycin to take (2, twice a day)... as well as the Metronidazole (3, three times a day). This seems like an awful lot of antibiotics. Why was I given Erythromycin, when from as far as I can tell, Metronidazole alone is the recommended treatment for BV?
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks!
There are many risk factors for heart attacks and stroke and gingivitis is one of them. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits will reduce your risk. When was your last dental visit?
Teak i asked you abotu oral sex risks and you told there were not any risk at all, but anyway do you know something about the relation between HIV and erythema or periodontitis as a sympthom? if someone is infected does this sympthom take place in the early stage of the infection , say for example one month or two after the exposure, or this kind of sympthoms take place in more advanced stages??thank you so much.
I would say as a dental hygienist at least 90% of my patient have some for of gingivitis or periodontal disease. Gingivitis is classified as any inflammation of the gingiva (gums) redness, bleeding, swollen margins, with little or no bone loss. Gingivitis can be reversed with proper home care and yes by home care I mean flossing. I can not begin to stress enough how important flossing is and how rarely it is done by patients.
You do have gingivitis. You need to go to your dentist for a good cleaning to start with. Then pay careful attention to how thoroughly you actually brush this area. You may gain some gum tissue back, if not, a skin graft can be done to secure the tooth with the recessed gum. You're fortunate that you've caught this on only one tooth, but this is another good reason to see your dentist. You may not be able to see the beginning pockets of gingivitis, but your dentist can.
Does anyone know what symptoms of HIV Gingivitis are and would this come on within the 1st few weeks of infection.
My gum at far top right of mouth hurts to press and open jaw. It doesnt bleed.
My antibody / antigen test was neg @ 35 days.
Hello Doctor
I have been having painful gums for couple of nights now when i brush my teeth and i really go hard on them thinking it could make it better but i just read somewhere its bad to go hard on your gums while brushing. They tend to bleed too. I was just wondering if it could be gingivitis. I'm also suffering from bad breath for a year now. I'm planning on seeing a dentist in 2 weeks. This is the earliest appointment i could get. Any thoughts on this?
at first i didnt bother it but after my medication in soar throat and allergy(urcatitaria), my vagina started to became itchy and again, everyday i started having green discharged for `1 week. i went to a gynecologist and she prescribed me a metronidazole miconazole vaginal suppository and ive used that for `1 week.. now what my problem is, my white discharge had stop.. i am also currently taking up medice for my UTI and had experiexed sex but that was like long time ago...
Metronidazole can cause diarrhea as a side effect. But it may be also working on the infective cause of your dog's illness in the first place, so don't stop it without speaking to your vet.
Meanwhile keep your dog hydrated. If you can find an unflavoured electrolyte drink like Pedialyte that would be great. Plain water would do for a short time but Pedialyte would be better.
My heart beat is erratic most of the time anyway but when I tried taking flagyl for campylobacter, it didn't affect my heart at all. I just got extremely sick and intestinal issues worsened. They had to switch me.
For the past ten days I have been taking Metronidazole (Two 250mg oral tablets, twice daily).
I took my last pills lastnight around 10:30 pm.
My question is, would it be okay for me to consume alcohol on Saturday night?
I know my pharmacist told me to absolutely stay away from alcohol while I was taking the pills because I would vomit alot, and he said most people wait a couple of days after they've finished before they drink. Im just wondering if two days is enough time?
I had to take it last week for 5 days. Everything is great with baby. It does say that there is no harm to take it however I understand your concern. I'm 27w 5d I'm sure I would've been me hesitant at 6 weeks.
