How to reduce inflammation of swollen and painful gums during pregnancy? Have you learned the three treatment methods?

Pregnant women need to take a lot of supplements during pregnancy to replenish their body's needs, but if the diet is unbalanced, symptoms of swollen and painful gums will often appear, so pregnant women must pay attention to a reasonable diet and a happy mood.

Western medicine treatment methods

1. Medication

Most doctors recommend Tylenol tablets, which have strong analgesic ability and do not contain aspirin, so they will not aggravate the problem of bleeding gums. However, it is important to remind you that you should try not to take medicine during pregnancy. If you must take medicine, you should take it carefully according to the doctor's instructions.

2. Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets

The greatest effect of this drug is to prevent and treat respiratory infections by reducing heat. It should be discontinued immediately if diarrhea occurs.

3. Vitamin C

When you are deficient in vitamin C, you should take additional vitamin C tablets under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, in your daily diet, eat more foods rich in VC, such as vegetables, fruits, etc.

4. Teeth cleaning

For patients with more serious conditions, such as enlarged gums and pus discharge from gingival pockets, you can choose some mild, non-irritating mouthwashes that do not contain antibiotics. 1% hydrogen peroxide solution is a very good choice.
