What Causes Fever And Inflammation In The Gums?

What do I do if I think my 3yr.old has gingivostomatitis? he has had fever 103.7 and his gums are inflamed and super red. Took him to the ER and they said it was a virus. Is there any home remedies that I can try to see if it helps him or makes him more confortable? Thank You, Stephanie Walker
