You can eat popsicles for swollen gums. Eating foods that are too cold can have a better analgesic effect, but it will not solve the problem of swollen and painful gums. If the swollen gums are caused by inflammation of the surrounding tooth support tissue or periodontal disease, the patient should receive treatment at the first opportunity to remove the cause of the swollen gums. However, in most cases, swollen gums do not affect the diet, and patients should avoid eating too spicy or too hot food to avoid aggravating the condition of swollen gums. If the swollen gums are due to an ulcer on the surface of the gums, they will heal on their own in a week or so and the patient does not need to receive treatment. If it is caused by the tooth or periodontal tissue, it is still necessary to receive timely treatment so that the swelling and pain will gradually go away.
