<s>[INST] Im 57 years old and my guns are swollen ,before I noticed that they were swollen my wisdom tooth was loose and had been for a while two days ago it came out ! In surprise it wasnt broken, rotten with the root in place whats going on ? I dont have the money at this time ! [/INST] Hi. Thanks for the query. Swelling of the gums can be due to infection of the gums, but in case if the gums are inflamed only around the wisdom tooth then it can be due to Peritonitis that is an inflammation of the gum flap over the wisdom tooth. So you should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. In case if there is generalized gum swelling then it can be due to gum infection that can be due to Gingivitis or Periodontitis. In that case cleaning of the gums that is Scaling can be done followed by a course of antibiotics and gum paint massage. If it is due to Peritonitis then localized cleaning of gum and a course of antibiotics and painkillers and doing warm saline gargles can help. Hope this helps. Regards. </s>
