[|Human|] For the past week or so the inside of my upper and lower lip have been swollen and reddish and my gums feel dry over the swollen area of my irritated lips . In addition, the front of my tongue is now particularly sensitive to salty, spicy or sour food which I have had no problems eating in the past. I do not have dry mouth but this is more evident in the morning when I wake up. Should I see my doctor or go to a dentist and what could be the cause? Michelle
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, your gums are infected due to deposition of food particles. This has lead into chronic generalized gingivitis. Get thorough professional cleaning of teeth. Brush your teeth minimum twice daily. Use only soft-bristled toothbrush and clean your tongue also or else it may cause accumulation of microorganisms and thereby systemic diseases. Take doxycycline tab.100 mg for a week so that your gums become intact.
