Suggest Treatment For Dental Abscess In A Child

Hello Dr, my 14 month old daughter is teething a few teeth at once and gums look very red and irritated with a little blood. Her Pediatrician said it s viral gingivitis and said it s not known what causes it. Do you think it s because I didn t brush her teeth well enough?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
While teething the gums usually will become inflammed and become red, can cause bleeding. Nothing to be panic, take a course of antibiotic like amoxicillin syrup. Do saline gargling or mouth wash. Consult a pediatric dental surgeon for further opinion and needful.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
