[|Human|] Hello I am a mother of a 2 year old girl, my daughter has never been sick with anything other than a cold. 1 week ago she started showing symptoms of a fever and she kept in on and off for 7 days. I kept treating it with generic tylenol for children. 4 days into this I noticed she peed only once that day and was not eating like normal. He attitude was normal she was playful but I then noticed when I brushed her teeth her gums started bleeding. I finally took her to the doctor and she tested positive for strep...are the swollen gums a sympton of strep. The doctor did advise that since she has tears when she cries. I am just worried that I should take her back to the doctor, Should wait it out once she finishes her antibiotic and see if she still has these symptoms!! HELP my child has never been sick :(
[|AI|]  Hello, I can understand your concern. The deciduous or milk teeth start developing at the age of 6 months in child Chat Doctor.  As your daughter is 2 years old now, she might have about 8 to 10 teeth in the mouth. At this age, it is usually difficult to convince the child to brush their teeth and make them co-operate with you in brushing their teeth. Thus, plaque and calculus accumulate around teeth making gums inflamed and infected. This may cause bleeding while brushing. In addition, if new teeth are in the process of developing, the gums may be sore causing bleeding. My advice to you is to wait until the antibiotic course is over as bleeding from gums is not that severe a disease that requires immediate attention. After she is healthy otherwise, take her to the dentist or periodontist (dentist who specializes in treating child
