Hello and welcome.
There could be a small inflammation caused due to erupting teeth in the upper arch.
Therefore please do not worry ,if required you can give a good teether to the kid so that he can chew upon that and feel comfortable.
A very important point to note here is that please give clean and sterilized teether each time so that any diarrhea and vomiting can be avoided.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
