Whenever I brush my teeth or use mouthwash, I notice blood coming from my gums, and they swell up a lot too. I'm really concerned about what could be causing this. Could you help me understand what's going on, and maybe suggest ways to fix it?

View allI've got this infection on my tongue, and it feels like I've bitten both sides of it. It's been going on for almost a week now, and I'm in pain. What do you think I should do?
I recommend using an antifungal medication like clotrimazole oral troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for about two weeks. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate your tongue further.

I've been noticing these small lumps on my body for about 10 years now. Is there a specific type of doctor I should consult for this? I'm really curious about what kind of treatment options might be available. Any advice would be really appreciated.
The small lumps on your body could be lipomas, which are usually harmless fatty tumors under the skin. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, if the lipomas are causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns, they can be removed surgically. However, if the lumps are due to other causes, the treatment may vary. It is best to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been experiencing some discomfort whenever I open my mouth wide, like when I'm eating or brushing my teeth. It's a pain on the left side of my jaw near the ear. I haven't hurt myself or anything like that. Could you tell me what might be causing this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing jaw exercises to improve jaw mobility may also be beneficial. In some cases, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may be prescribed by a healthcare provider. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon for further evaluation and management.
