I am so sorry you have to go through this. I know everyone is different, but does the hole in your gum hurt? I have noticed pain when I brush my teeth near a molar. I took a look ath the gums and I have a small hole in my gums between two of my molars. As I was reading your post when you said hole in the gums, it made me start to wonder about mine. I do not see my ENT until March 1, and have 7 more HBOs. This thing showed up a few days ago.
I will keep you in my prayers.
