I understand you're experiencing discomfort and pain in your mouth and jaw, and I want to help provide some guidance. However, I cannot diagnose medical conditions or offer specific medical advice. It's important to seek professional medical help for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. With that in mind, here are some general suggestions: seek medical attention: contact your dentist immediately: explain your symptoms and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. They can examine your mouth, diagnose the cause of your pain and swelling, and recommend the appropriate treatment. Consider emergency care if: you have difficulty breathing or swallowing. You have severe facial swelling or redness. You have a high fever. You experience intense, unrelieved pain. Possible causes: swollen taste buds: several factors can cause this, including allergies, irritation from dental appliances, oral thrush, or burning your tongue. Wisdom tooth issues: painful gum inflammation and swelling around wisdom teeth are common, especially if they're impacted or erupting. Tips to manage discomfort: gargle with warm salt water several times a day to soothe pain and swelling. Apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce swelling and pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage mild pain. Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods that may irritate your tongue and mouth. Maintain good oral hygiene: brush and floss gently around the affected area to prevent further infection. Remember: don't try to diagnose yourself or ignore the symptoms. Seek professional medical advice to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Follow the dentist's instructions carefully to ensure proper healing. I hope this information provides some initial guidance and helps you find the right medical care. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Nothing is wrong. All infections & scars go through a healing time phase. Give nature time to cure the problem. The scars may become lighter in colour but if deep may not disappear.

6 helpful home remedies for blackhead/whiteheads removal 1.Toothpaste-- you just apply a thin layer of toothpaste on the affected area and leave it dry for 25 minutes, then rinse it. You are advised to do that every two days and maintain this work during two weeks. 2.Lemon-- to remove blackheads/ whiteheads on the nose with lemon, you can apply one of the three following methods: you wash your face with lukewarm water before applying a mixture of one lemon juice with a little salt on the nose. Then, you leave it for 20 minutes before rinsing the face skin with lukewarm water. You mix 2 tablespoons of oatmeal, 3 tablespoons of yogurt, 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Then, you stir the mixture to apply to the nose. After that, you wait 5 to 7 minutes before cleaning the face with water. You blend lemon juice with cinnamon powder and apply them to the nose and keep it overnight. 3.Oatmeal-- you simply mix oatmeal and rose water to create the glutinous flour. You use the hands to spread it on the nose or the entire face. About 15 minutes later, you wash the face with water. You will feel that the skin in this area become smoother and brighter. You should apply this method several times a week to quickly remove blackheads. 4.Rice water-- you soak rice in fresh milk or cold water for 5 hours, then put it to the grinder and wait until the rice, water, and milk combine with each other to form a dense mixture which is then applied to the nose. When it becomes dry, you remove the mask from the nose and clean the nose with water. 5.Coriander-- to have a mask made from coriander, you need to pick a wisp of fresh coriander that is mixed with water to grind finely. Then, you blend this mixture with 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and put it on the nose. After waiting 15 minutes, you clean the nose thoroughly. It is suggested to do that every day so that blackheads will be swept away. Coriander juice is mixed with lemon juice in the same proportion. Then, you apply the solution to the nose or the affected skin. Then, you leave it for 5 to 10 minutes and rinse the face thoroughly. 6.Honey-- the simplest way to treat blackheads is to gently rub the honey to the nose and the affected area. You leave it for about 15 minutes before cleaning the face with water. Another way is to blend 1 teaspoon of honey with 1 teaspoon of aloe vera juice to spread on the blackheads. 15 minutes later, you rinse with lukewarm water.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. These factors can trigger or aggravate acne: hormones, certain medications, diet, stress. To prevent pimples, eat fresh fruits, green vegetables, drinking plenty of water should be an essential part of your routine and intake of oily fried foods, an excess of sugar-salt should be avoided. Don't peal pimples, as they tend to leave scars. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. It’s a good cleanser. If skin is dry then apply moisturizer like coconut oil. For swollen pimples, gently apply ice for a minute or so. Just don't keep the ice on so long that it irritates your skin. Tea tree oil can kill bacteria. Some people use it to treat minor skin irritations, including acne. There isn't much research on how effective it is, but tea tree oil is safe to put directly on your skin in a diluted form. Try it on a small area first to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction. Simple honey mask--before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Yeast and yogurt mask for oily skin--oily skin is prone to acne, and this home remedy can reduce excess oil and help clear acne. To make the mask, combine 1 teaspoon of brewer's yeast with a little plain yogurt to create a thin mixture. Apply it thoroughly to all the oily areas and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water; then use cold water to close the pores.Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. For more details consult online.
