I was (acutely) using cocaine earlier tonight favoring only my right nostril. At the same time I began, the gum behind my right bottom molar started to swell until the molar eventually popped the swelling and relieved some pressure. My cheek, jaw, gum, and right side of face are all still in pain and very swollen. It is important to note that I am 20 and have wisdom teetChatDoctoring in, though not on the bottom where the swelling occurred. I was curious if this swelling could be due nasal irritation, blockage, etc.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Cocaine in general harms your body and it is very mucChatDoctorpulsory to stop it immediately and get rehabilitated. Cocaine causes gum problems including acute gingival inflammatory effects of swelling. It can also cause chronic gingivitis, reduced salivary secretions, increased dental caries and many other harmful effects. I would advise you to visit your and get your teeth cleaned and use chlorhexidine mouth wash for a while. Check it with the dentist if any of your is decayed and the swelling is due to the decay. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
