Dr. Guan Yanlei
Pain in the left gum and half of the face can be treated with oral metronidazole capsules under a doctor's guidance. Facial pain on one side caused by swollen and painful gums is a relatively severe symptom, possibly indicating acute inflammatory conditions such as acute gingivitis or acute apical periodontitis. Treatment mainly includes medication, local irrigation, abscess drainage, root canal therapy, and daily care. It is recommended to visit the dental department at a hospital for an examination. In daily life, consume more foods rich in vitamin C, maintain good oral hygiene, and develop the habit of brushing teeth morning and night.
