What Causes Itchy Gums With Black Spots?

My 2 year old has been having sore itchy gums and I also noticed black spots. He has strep throat and is on Amoxicillin right now. He has also had a really high fever for the last three days while fighting strep. So I am wondering what could be going on with his gums?

Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
After going through your child's history, gum problem is probably due to the systemic infection your child is having. So, you need not worry about it.
I would suggest you to consult regarding it with your treating physician for any modifications needed in the treatment.
Hope my answer will help you.
