Any Suggestion For Child Suffering From Fever And Swollen Gums?

My 23 month old has 101 fever two day and now has swollen gums on the right side when I tried to brush his teeth the gums bleed a lot I thought and he said it hurt. He has been crying and sensitive lately about things he wouldnt of cried about before. He is eating a lot less and seems to not be sleeping well.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually it looks that the gums of your son are infected, this infection can be because of viral also, as he is having fever.
It will subside as soon as the fever will reduce. Till then you can apply topical ointment named mucopain on the gums, as it will give him relief.
Hope it will help you.
