Hi all
A few days ago pretty much all of my gums became really sore and inflamed, started bleeding I started to find it difficult and very painful to brush my teeth and eat hot or spicy food. The glands beneath my jaw became swollen and tender and I generally felt unwell. There are also small yellow spots on some of my gums and inside of lower lip which burn and sting.
My dentist thinks it is some kind of viral or bacterial infection and has prescribed me with antibiotics and booked me in for a good clean. I am now on the second day of the antibiotics and still in a lot of pain and can only eat cool, soft foods.
I started Googling around to see what could be causing this and I came across a rare bunch of conditions caused ‘pemphigus or pemphigoid’. The oral symptoms seem to match mine! I’m now absolutely sick with worry. I really feel like demanding a referral to an oral specialist. Has anyone been through a similar fear??
