hello my 20 month old son has sweeling in his gums and everytime i brush his teeth blood pours out and he is in pain his cheek looks swelled and red as well he is fussy he dont eat and when he does he cries because it hurts him to chew what could i do i took him to the dentist and they told me he has a tooth infection but yet did not give me anything for his pain
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Tooth infection along with swelling indicates that the infection had spread to the periapical region. I would suggest you get a root canal treatment done, Chat Doctor. Also take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Take care!
