Hello,

You have developed gingivitis of left side of your jaw most likely due to some infection. You need antibiotic treatment & an increased oral hygeine .

Hello,

You can use over the counter mouth wash agressively & saline gargles if symptoms subside its O.K. otherwise you have to visit a dentist.
