What could the swelling of the mouth mean in a 56-year-old man who does not treat his teeth and already has clear deficiencies? Is it very dangerous if it is accompanied by the weakening of the whole organism?

Unfortunately, I cannot make a reliable diagnosis over the Internet without seeing the patient.Swelling in the mouthmay have occurred for a number of reasons, of which I will mention only a few:

  • tooth inflammation,
  • gum tooth inflammation,
  • afty,
  • lymph nodes.
Please contact a dentist as soon as possible, as well as an internist.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
