I have recently cleaned my gums with a new tool that cleaned them more in depth. I bled quite a bit on my back teeth/gums. Since then I have had the taste of pus/blood/mucus mostly pus I believe (I know what pus tastes like because I went through an abscess tooth infection and had to take antibiotics, but the pus then made me vomit, this does not). I am also experiencing a slight pain as I swallow, nothing major but its there. What is causing the problem/what is the problem and how can I help fix it?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Since you have not mentioned what kind of tool you have used for cleaning, it is not advisable to judge the category of trauma to your gums. The signs and symptoms described is suggestive of trauma to your gums and subsequently bleeding from the gums causing the different taste in your mouth. I would advise you to use salt water gargling or an antiseptic mouthwash for a few days. Use the proper method of brushing. Visit your dentist and have your gums evaluated. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
