What Could Be the Cause of Swollen Upper Jaw, Tongue, Thick Yellowish-White Tongue Coat, and Swollen Gums?

Update Date: Source: Network

Swollen Jaw, Tongue, Thick White-Yellow Tongue Fur, and Swollen Gums may be caused by chronic pharyngitis. It is important to maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, and keep good oral hygiene. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent inflammation from worsening. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor promptly.

1. Swelling of gums and oral maxillary often indicates odontogenic infection, leading to local inflammation. Odontogenic infections include periapical periodontitis and periodontitis. Periapical periodontitis is generally developed from pulpitis, which can spread to the apical region if not properly treated for a long time. When the body is weak and resistant, chronic inflammation can lead to acute abscess formation, causing redness and swelling of gums and oral maxillary after breaking through the bone wall. Periodontitis is developed from gingivitis, and when periodontal abscess forms, inflammation will also manifest as swelling and pain in gums and oral maxillary.

2. Consider poor gastrointestinal motility, manifesting as abdominal distension, postprandial distension, limb fatigue, mental fatigue, lack of energy, thin body, or obesity and edema, with pale white tongue fur.

3. Many diseases can cause thick white-yellow tongue fur, such as cold constitution and spleen-stomach heat. If it is caused by cold constitution, it is recommended to reduce cold foods and increase hot foods.
