She has already taken antibiotics to 2 days but still her gums are swollen. Now her upper gums are already swollen. Please help me im really worried.

Pediatrician 's  Response
YOur concern of gum infection can be a part of throat infection or follow up of cavity inthe tooth.As antibiotic is already given,you could have mentioned names too to get better picture.YOu can review with your doctor and if he advises please see a dentist also for checking teeth and gums. I would have done a blood test also and it takes time for the drugs to take its effect. I recommend reviewing with your doctor. Regards
