What Causes Swollen Cheek For A Baby?
My baby girl she is 8 months woke up this morning and her left cheek is swollen and her appears smaller than the right one. She has 4 top teeth coming out. Can that be a cause? She does not seem to be in pain. She is palying and she had a bottle of milk 20 min ago. Thank you

Hi...you are right. The newly erupting teeth might have some problems like this due to local inflammation and hence the cheek swelling.
If she's active and playing around don't worry.
But if she's got pain, you can give oral paracetamol in the appropriate dose.
