I just wanted to know what the symptoms of cellulitis of the mouth or oral cellulitis – I've tried looking it up but can't find a descripton.
inflammation under the skin that's caused by infection
Cellulitis is inflammation of the cells and is most often times caused by irritation to the tissues in the mouth (this could be the buccal area or inside the cheek, tongue or soft palate). Rinsing with one part Maalox and one part peroxide will help. In the meantime, apply OraGel to alleviate the pain until it is gone. also avoid hot and spicy foods as they will only aggravate it further and take longer to heal. You also need to see your dentist to confirm your conclusion of cellulitis. I have to wonder where you came up with that diagnosis. See your dentist and play it safe!
