Swollen gums
A very tiny pieces of chicken got stuck between my two upper left incisors 5 days back. I removed it (I thought it's removed) but now I have swollen gums surrounding that area, specially the upper palate. I thought it would be fine by itself but it's swelling more. What do I do?

I think you have pricked the tissue there and they have inflamed,kindly try removing the irritant or visit a nearby dentist.
Once the irritant is removed ,the upper palate region will be just fine.
Next Steps
warm saline rinses.
