Wisdom teeth or something else?HELP!!!

[Meganlillymai]

My wisdom teeth have been growing a while. One has broke the skin but yesterday ingot this pain on the side of the roof my mouth. Near my wisdom teeth. It's a bit swollen and painful when I swallow or touch the area with my tong? Could this be due to my tooth growing through? Also have a slight cold and tiny ulcers on side of tong so think in a bit run down??? Someone help I have major anxiety

Hello It's probably an infection in the gum around the wisdom tooth. Very common I had loads of these (have just had two wisdom teeth taken out as was getting ridiculous). Go to the dentist and they'll have a look and probably prescribe you some antibiotics which will clear it up.

I'm terrified in case it's oral cancer. I'm only 22 but put everything down to it

It will be your wisdom teeth for sure. Mine are a nightmare and sometimes feel like they are exploding but dentist won't remove as they don't get infected.

Takes ibruprofen and use bonjela and it will help.

Don't put it down to cancer and stress out about it. I am sure it will clear up very soon.

Thank you bet much, everyone is telling me is my wisdom tooth but but they all know how much I worry so I like to come and here to people who don't know me, feel like they are more honest lol. Where its swollen there's a small white patch and surrounded by red so I think a slight infection so I'm gagging salt water hoping that will help

Salt water excellent idea, very healing.

Don't stress, enjoy your weekend!

Lets hope It's a bit better by Monday or il be climbing the walls with worry lol. I've done so well with my health anxiety lately as well lol

So the lumps still there, not as red and not as swollen and certainly not as painful. If it was anything serious would the redness have gotten worse instead of gotten better???
