My 3 year old had a high fever 103. And didn't want to eat for about 3days, I took him to the doctor & they said his throat was really red and swabbed his throat and there was no bacteria. However now his gums are red and swollen & bleed a little I brush his teeth! What can this be?
Hi! welcome to HCM You did not mention if your child is on any other medication or health issues. Children are more prone to gingivitis. Your toddler will need complete full mouth scaling.Take care about his oral hygiene. Warm salt water gargle thrice daily. A thorough brushing is necessary before bed and after waking up. check with the physician if it persists.
Hope this helps.
