[|Human|] Ive had a small whole in my upper gum on the right side ( if you push your tongue as far as possible between the gum and the lip) and ive had it for about 3 days now. Around the hole is red and swollen and it is sore to the touch and also when any liquids or food touches it it stings. What could this possibly be, should I be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A hole like lesion on the gums with red and swollen margins and pain on touch is suggestive of an ulcerative lesion. Ulcer can be formed by irritation, erosion, trauma, etc. A clinical examination of the lesion is required. A tissue biopsy also needs to be done. The biopsy needs to be examined microscopically. It is important to rule out development of cancer in the lesion. Development of cancer can be determined by microscopy. Management of the lesion will be decided after examining the lesion microscopically. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
