What Causes Tonsillitis And Bleeding Gums In A Child?
Baby has recently climbed out of her cot, resulting in a fall, since then she has a mouth full of ulcers, we have seen the GP who said it was Tonsillitis. However, she is sleeping more than normal and the last few days her gums have began to bleed when she rubs her eyes, or bangs her head. Is this something serious, or the cumulative of teething, a bang to the head and the Tonsillitis? Thanks.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The ulcers could be a aphthous ulcer which occurs secondary to trauma or stress. The bleeding gums can be because of the gum infection or a cut wound. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.Mean while you can use topical anesthetic and analgesic like lignocaine and choline salicylate respectively.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
