[|Human|] My son who is 7, has a loose tooth, I notice one side is super loose and a darker purple, and has been for like a week, other side not to loose at all, underneath its looks like maybe a small white bump is forming, yesterday he started getting a fever , now its at 103 to 104. Is this related? Should I be concerned its infected? Not sure what to do
[|AI|]  Hi, Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Than for the query, Since the age of 6 years permanent teeth starts erupting in the oral cavity and continue up to the age of 13-14 years and wisdom teeth is the last to be erupted at the age of 17-21 years. During this eruption sequence sometimes the child may have low grade fever, gum swelling, reduced diet intake and sleep problems. The white bump which you are describing is the permanent teeth that is erupting from inside, the loose tooth will be exfoliated within sometime and there is no need to worry. If the fever persists and not reducing better visit a general physician once. Hope so this will help you, Thank you.
