What Is The Symptoms Of Gums Viral In Children ?
24 month old with temp rectally as high as 104 vomited once a day ago and now cranky on and off with bright red swollen gums especially around top 4 front teeth. I assumed this is a viral illness but I have two older children and have not seen gums like this before. Virus plus teething???

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
This could be due to infection.
I would suggest you to take the child to the child specialist and get the checkup done.
Give your child lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Take care!
