Noticed Swollen Gums And Redness , What Is The Problem ?

My 7 month old baby's top front gums are swollen and red. One side is particularly swollen and red. It has bled too. It is causing him discomfort. I have been giving him pain reliever and topical ointment. I am wondering is this kind of swelling normal?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

This could be due to erruption of the anterior tooth.
You just maintain a good oral hygiene.
Apply topical ointment over the region.

Take care!
