What Causes Fever And Red Swollen Gums?
My 14 month old daughter has been sick, running fever and is teething.. Behind her front teeth she has a whitish green patch of raw skin and her gums are extremely red and swollen.. I have never seen this in any of the other children. We brush her teeth regularly. What could be the problem

Hi...by what you quote I feel that she might be going through a viral illness. But the whitish green patch of raw skin and her gums are extremely red and swollen gums could be a fungal infection or oral candidiasis. I suggest you wither upload a photo on this website or consult your kid's pediatrician.
