My daughter fell face down from the high chair. Mouth and lip were bleeding. I stopped the bleeding but she has a cut on lower lip and upper gum seems to be swollen. I do not see any bumps or bruises on her head, should i still take her to the hospital?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swollen and painful gums can be because of the impact that has resulted in soft tissue injuries or tooth fracture or bone fracture. Nothing to be panic, you need to consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take radiographs like OPG to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile you can give analgesics like ibuprofen for the pain(if you are not allergic). Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
