[|Human|] burning red raw soreness inside left jaw beside tongue gets a white-ish buildup on side of tongue, near back. gum seems slighly swollen inside near tongue below molar. Using Listerine Total Care to keep area clean...what is this? should I be concerned
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. Redness and soreness of the beside the tongue looks like gum Infection or gum inflammation. It can be due to either tooth decay or deep Infection in gum. White buildup and soreness of tongue at the back is appearing to be due to fungal infection over tongue causing Oral Thrush. So my advice to you is to consult a Dentist and get clinical examination done. If there is it gum Infection then localized scaling of the gum can help in reducing inflammation, pain and swelling.Also, anti-inflammatory painkillers will be given with antibiotics for relief. For fungal infection on Tongue gargle with antifungal mouthwash like Statin and suck Clotrimazole lozenges. Hope you get well soon. Regards. Chat Doctor.
