Gums are bleeding for a 2 years old baby.

Also doctors mentioned tongue attached to the skin and asked to undergo a surgery for the kid to talk. Is it advisable for a surgery? What are the side effects.

Please upload the report, no attachment found.

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I am sorry but no report is found attached so please re-attach the report.

However, gum bleeding can be due to infection in the gums..

The tongue attached condition is known as Tongue-tie and it is an appropriate advise to get it surgical corrected so that the tongue becomes free..
It does not have any side effects, rather it will help in proper speech of you child..

Please upload the report so that I can advise you better..

Regards.

Brief Answer:
Consult a Pediatrician first.

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
I have viewed the report attached and I can see that some values are bot in normal range.
The one that concerns is Partial Thromboplastin Time which is high and can cause prolonged bleeding..
Gum bleeding can be due to it.
So once consult a Paediatrician and get evaluated and after proper screening only further treatment can be planned..
Also any surgical procedure should be done only once the consent from the Paediatrician is given..

Hope this helps..
