[|Human|] My 18 month old has swollen gums upper & lower and upper lip is a little swollen as well. His mouth hurts and he tries to eat but only takes one bite and says ow and won t eat anymore. We took him to the dentist and he s on a rx for amoxicillin but he wasn t sure what was causing the swelling. He has a mild fever and we re giving him advil for pain & inflammation. I also noticed tonight he has a few small redder than usual spots on his tongue, almost like he ate something sour that irritated his taste buds. His hands and feet are not red, I checked in case it was hand, foot & mouth disease. Oh and he s not sleeping well at night, he wakes up every couple hours but he s still very active during the day. Any idea what s wrong with my little man? Thank you!!
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain, swollen gums and fever could be because of the herpes virus infection, you can just give him symptomatic treatment like paracetamol for fever and topical anesthetic and analgesic like Anabel for the painful tongue. The other possible cause of the pain, swelling and fever could be from the erupting deciduous tooth causing infection of the overlying gums. If the infection is from the gums you can take amoxicillin and Cronin for 3 days after consulting the oral pediatric dental surgeon. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
