What tye of mask are you using? Is the issue the direct pressure of the mask against the face?

Also, you may need your gums cleaned out and stitched. This is what my dentist said he'd need to do if the infection didn't clear up. It did clear up from the medication he gave me, so he didn't have to do this.
