[|Human|] im recovering from flu, ive had it for 2/3 days now but i have really swollen gums, but i have to wear retainers at night. but only on the 3rd day i have discovered that my retainers cant fit around my teeth, i have to really force them in and it draws blood, what should i do? i dont want to have crowded teeth again
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have retainers placed as you are under Orthodontic treatment what happened is when patient is under orthodontic treatment there is difficulty in maintain of oral hygiene, so there is bleeding gums now and as you said that you feel like retainer doesn't fits, for this you should consult dentist again and go for Examination, Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Do chlorhexidine mouthwash 2 times daily Hope this will help you. Wish you good health
