Suggest Treatment For Gums Bleeding And Pain In Child
My 2 year old has really bad breath and her gums are all red and swollen she cried when I brushed then earlyer and she has woken tonight crying as if in pain I have checked Her mouth and her guns are all red and bleeding she also has a white covering on her tounge
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that your child is suffering from GINGIVOSTOMATITIS thT can be due to Herpes virus infection.. Other cause can be gum Inflammation secondary to gum infection caused by poor Oral hygiene.. The white coating over the tongue can be due to fungal infection known as Thrush.. I would suggest you to consult a Pedodontist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.. As of now you can do cool compresses over her gums.. Maintain a good Oral hygiene and brush her teeth using an ultra soft toothbrush.. Feed her with a soft diet.. Give her plenty of fluids..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
