	I have this little bump just above my gum behind my upper teeth. It is not particularly painful, but it feels swollen. I had a similar one the other night just to the left of this one and it went away after I drank some water. My dad looked at it and he said it didn't look like a chancre sore at all, just a small little swollen area. I have a great deal of anxiety and I have also been drinking soft drinks lately (like Pepsi, Dr Pepper) ...I wonder if this has something to do with it??? I brush my teeth regularly and gargle with Listerine quite often... Has anybody else ever had this happen? Could it be allergies? related to the Soda pop or the Listerine? I want to know so I can start eliminating possibl causes... Back to Top

	OK, it went away pretty rapidly...Have a friend who told me that she used to get the same really soft and puffy gums and never knew why...I suspect it was the Dr. Pepper and the Pepsi I drank (?)...Havent had a soft drink in two days and I'm not having a problem. Strange! Back to Top

	I'm glad that you figured it out and it was an easy solution. Sugars can do some pretty strange things to the body thats for sure! ^{Sherry Left sided Uc '92 - Colazal, 6mp, Canasa, Forvia, Biotin (in remission)*Secondary Raynauds Syndrome '04 - NorvascFibro '06Acid Reflux '07 - Prilosec OTCPlagued by cysts - Prometrium} ^{Help others such as yourself by donating to Healingwell, every penny counts!} http://www.healingwell.com/donate ^{Co-moderator for UCModerator for Allergies/Asthma} ^{http://www.myspace.com/82595818}* Back to Top
