[|Human|] Hello, I got hit in side of mouth playing football on Saturday. Now my gum by my wisdom tooth feels so sore can barely open mouth cant swallow and jawline has started to hurt if press on it.. Also now have cough n bad throat, could this have turned into dental abscess?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the gums can be because of the trauma resulting in a bruise or ulcer. The other possible cause can be a broken jaw near the wisdom tooth. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile you can take an analgesic like diclofenac(if you are not allergic). If it is a bruise, it will heal in 5 days. If there is a fractured bone, it has to be treated by plating. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
