[|Human|] I noticed yesterday that the tissue between my gums and my jaw inside my mouth were a little swollen.  When I woke up this morning the left side of my face was swollen and it is drooping some.  When I press my face or cheek it hurts.  I do not have a toothache or anything.  I am making a Drs appt for tomorrow....too late to see her today.  Should I be okay and what could be the cause of this.
[|AI|]  Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... You might have any of following condition1. Dental/periodontal abscess-is a localized collection of pus associated with a tooth or gum. They occur when a localized infection of tooth spread to gums & nearby soft tissues.2.peritonitis- which is inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the crown of a partially erupted tooth, including the gums.  Following remedies can be tried1. Anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. 2. Salt Water Gargle-Mix 1 tsp of salt with warm water in a glass. Gargle for roughly 15-20 seconds and spit out. You can repeat this as needed for 2-3 days. Remember to spit the water rather swallowing it. Visit your dental surgeon he will do an x-ray to confirm the cause & give you a specific diagnosis. Hoping your query is solved well soon.
