Brief Answer: Refer below Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic! Though the tablet would not have specified as pediatric, the dosage prescribed of 250 mg is correct for children of that age group. However, whether it is really needed for the swollen gums depends on physical examination which should be decided by the doctor who did physical. Hope I have answered your query.
