If you are having sinus congestion your upper teeth may hurt because the roots of your teeth, especially your molar teeth, are close to the sinus area. Taking a decongestant may help and the teeth should feel better when the pressure is gone and the cold is over. Can't explain why the gums would hurt as well. Just keep brushing and flossing to prevent gingivitis. Gingivitis, inflammation of the gums, doesn't normally hurt, but gums can become swollen and bleed.

When most people get the flu they are so sick they are lucky to just keep liquids in their system. When we eat solid foods it keeps our gums toughened up, but just drinking liquids will soften them. When you are feeling better brush your teeth well. My dentist just told me that the Sonic electric tooth brush is also good for gums and teeth. You can also rinse your mouth out with warm water and salt (spit it out after you gargle!) Salt will toughen up the gums as well. You could be having problems with your sinus' too which will cause aching of gums.

Unless you had toothaches prior to experiencing any flu symptoms, it's most likely related. The roots of your upper teeth are in very close proximity to your sinus cavities. So if you have a sinus infection or inflammation in that area your teeth can be sore from the pressure on the roots.

Why does your daughter have painful feet with Swine Flu?

The flu does cause aches and pains and can inflame joints, like the joints in your feet and ankles. This could be the source of the pain your daughter is having in her feet. However, it is not clear from just "painful feet" if that is the problem since it is not a common complaint with Swine Flu as you have worded it. If you know that your daughter has swine flu, then you may want to contact the diagnosing physician and ask about these symptoms to be sure there isn't some other cause of the pain. The symptoms of the flu can vary greatly from person to person, so she may have to actually see the health care professional for a definitive diagnosis of the foot pain, especially if the pain is severe and not like muscle or inflammed joint pain.
