My 9 yo has had a fever for the last few days. It has gone down to a low grade fever now but her gums are swollen to the point that her front teeth are almost covered. She had strep a few weeks ago but was prescribed antibiotics and she got better. Why would her gums be swelling like that? The same thing happened to my 3 yo as well....Thank you
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. It looks that your child might be having a viral fever, because viral fever causes this kind of gum infection and swelling also. There is nothing to worry about it, as you just visit your dentist and get cleaning of gums done with some multivitamins including vitamin C. Hope it will help you.
