I had my tonsils taken out recently and my gums have now started to swell up, is this due to the operation?

Q.

Jose – I have a question for you about my gums! I’ve recently had my tonsils taken out because i was getting tonsillitis very frequently. So after my operation my throat was very sore so i was eating ice cream and cool drinks to ease the pain. Recently my gums have been swelling up, I’m not sure if its something to do with the operation or is it the change in diet? I don’t eat very much dairy products normally. Whats your advice? Cheers!

I think I have got gingivitis. Can you tell me about signs of the condition and relevant treatment?

Q.

Hi Doctor I think I have got gingivitis. I dont think It’s more serious than that at this point. my breath does smell a little and my gums bleed on brushing- and have actually bled spontaneously a few times, the gums are a bit red and tender and by my own admission my oral hygiene hasn’t been great up until now and I assume its a result of that. I have a couple of questions of the back of this. I know it can take between 7-10 days to get rid of gingivitis but how long does it take to kick in/contract? also if this is gum disease how do I get rid of it (I know go to my dentist but what happens?)? thanks
