Bit of tender skin near my wisdom tooth growing in... Been taking painkillers and using bonjela.. Feel very bunged up tired and sneezing I'm assuming this may be the cold!! But my throats really sore too and swollen :0( huge ulcer too... Do u think this is tied in with the wisdom tooth? Bloody coldsore on lip AGAIN time to take previous advice methinks and use nailvarnish remover I'm bloody sick ov them., rundown I think! No time to lie down to it just began 5wks of uni placement on tip of my own job... 13hr days!! Fab!! Lol xxxxx

who've you been kissing? Acetone will sort the cold sore, try sensodyne rubbed on gum to soothe it. Have a lemsip instead of painkillers, horlicks & early night should have you fit overnight.

If you think you're feeling run down, you could also put yourself on a short course of Echinacea, which is readily available at good chemists and vitamin outlets. It should give you a boost!

Awww poor you! :(

Be careful with the skin near your wisdom teeth esp if it's anything like a flat and anything could get under it and cause an infection.

I got a couple of infections from having that and ended up having one taken out as an emergency during my final law degree exams (sooo not good timing) and the rest whipped out under general a few months later.

Further to katmakenian's post, I find the dissolvable Vit C tablets good first thing in the morning if I'm feeling run down.

Garlic is also popular for your immune system.

My dentist keeps telling me to rinse my mouth with warm salty water when my wisdom tooth is playing up, haven't tried it yet as just the thought makes me want to be sick a little bit! Maybe will try it tomorrow though as have been in pain for a few days now!

Sounds like you need a holiday! For the gum pains use Corsodyl Gel (might have spelled that wrong) better than bongella. Eccinaccea for your immune system, The bunged up and tired could be the beginning of hay fever. Zovirax for cold sores. Good luck - and difficult as it might be try to relax because it help your immune system
