What Causes Gum Bleeding And Tongue Blisters In An Infant?
My 1 year old daughter has blisters on her tongue and her gums are swollen and she had a fever 3 days ago. It is painfull for her and she cries a lot and does not sleep for long periods of time like she used to. The gums bleed from time to time and she has lost her appetite.. Any suggestions what this could be?? Robert
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bleeding gum and tongue blisters could be because of the herpes virus infection(herpetic gingivostomatitis) usually associated with fever. You can also take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel for the pain. Do saline gargling, You can take systemic antipyretics like crocin syrup. It is a self limiting condition, just take symptomatic treatment. If it doesnot subside in 5 days, then consult a oral physician. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
