[|Human|] My 2 year old son was teething and had swollen red gums and then he got tonsillitis and middle ear infection he is on penicillin and am wondering does penicillin cause gums to swell and bleed because it has only been happening since taking penicillin he is allergic to amoxcillin
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, the swollen gums could be because of the erupting tooth causing gingival abscess or periodontal abscess. The tonsillitis could be because of the bacterial infection. If I am your treating doctor I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics(penicillin, if you are allergic to penicillin then you can take erythromycin) and analgesics. Do saline gargling and maintain oral hygiene. I hope my answer will help you take care.
