Gum swelling may be caused by bacterial infection, such as periodontitis, periapical periodontitis, etc., cephalosporins have a certain therapeutic effect, may also be caused by non-bacterial infection, such as acute gingival papillitis, leukemia gingival lesions, etc., cephalosporins have no therapeutic effect.
1. Bacterial infectious diseases:
(1) periodontitis: cephalosporins have wide antibacterial spectrum and strong antibacterial ability, such as cefazolin, which has a therapeutic effect on periodontal pathogenic bacteria, combined with perfect periodontal treatment can control periodontal inflammation, such as scaling, scraping, and so on.
(2) apical periodontitis: cephalosporins have strong antibacterial effect, such as cefuroxime, on the apical periodontitis has a certain therapeutic effect, need to be combined with endodontic treatment to control the inflammation of the apical periodontitis.
2. Non-bacterial infectious diseases:
(1) Acute gingival papillitis: mostly caused by mechanical or chemical stimulation of the gingival papilla, the treatment mode is to remove the local stimulating factors and use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, such as 3% hydrogen peroxide liquid rinse.
(2) Leukemia gingival lesions: mostly caused by a large number of infiltration and aggregation of naïve blood cells in the peripheral blood of patients with leukemia in the gingival tissues, which requires systemic and systemic treatment.
All of the above drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, to clarify the cause of the disease for targeted treatment.
