what happened to my boyfriend's gums and how can it be fixed?!


Question: What happened to my boyfriend's gums and how can it be fixed?
So he just randomly texted me this morning talking about how bad his gums hurt.
& when I saw him at school, I told him let me see, & the part he said it hurt, (right inside cheek, closer to throat) looked pretty swollen, & you could even slightly tell on the outside of his face, too.
what could this be? how could this go awayy ?

If it started to hurt and get swollen all at once, it is either an injury or an infection, and he would certainly know if he had an injury. That means he has some sort of infection there, and he needs to see his dentist or doctor right away. He will probably need an antibiotic.

Encourage him to make an appointment before it starts to hurt even more. Good luck to both of you.
