What Causes Swollen Gums After Viral Flu?
My son has been sick for a week. Headache sore muscles sick to stomach and low fever. He has been to 3 doctors and all say he has viral flu. Hospital gave him fluids for dehydration. Now his gums are swollen with sores on his bottom lip and can not eat. Should I take him back in and see if something elses is going on? He is usually a healthy 15 year old but now I m getting worried.

HI...I think he is having stress or aphthous ulcers while recovering from his viral illness. I suggest you to use Zytee gel and some multivitamin course after consulting your paediatrician. This is not something to panic about.
