My gums are swollen, should I be using hot compresses or cold ice to get it to go down? And, directly on he gums, or on my face?

Re: Swollen Gums---Ice or Heat?
When things are swollen & inflammed, ice is usually indicated. As for directly on the gums or not, that I'm not sure. Feel Better!

Have you tried to gargle with warm salt water?

Cold is usually used for swelling. Heat will make it more inflammed. Try holding a cold compress on your cheek, it would be kind of difficult to apply directly on your gums.
