[|Human|] My 2 year old has a fever of about 102.7 with really swollen gums (she wont eat or let me brush her teeth) and bad breath even after we tried brushing. What could this be? Do I just let it run its course and keep trying to brush/floss? Which should I go to...pediatrician or dentist?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swollen gums could be because of the deposits or herpetic gingival dermatitis(since you are giving history of fever) consult an oral physician and get her teeth cleaned, and you can use mouth wash or saline gargling. If the pain is more in the gums you can apply topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel. Consult an oral physician or a dentist. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
