What is the reason for the blood bumps on the inside of the baby's mouth?

Patient's question:

My baby is two weeks and nine months old now. Here's the translation:
"I noticed about ten days ago that there's a very small blood bump on the right inner wall of her mouth. It's not a bump, but rather a blood clot that looks like a scab. It's been about ten days, and today I noticed it hasn't gone away. It seems to be the result of being bitten, maybe just a little bigger than a mole on her face. I used a flashlight to check, and it's blood. There's nothing else unusual. She's eating dinner, drinking milk, and taking naps normally. I also thought it might have been a bite and would go away in about ten days, but it's still there. It's a small scab-like mark on the inner wall, as if it was bitten and scabbed over, but it hasn't fallen off in ten days. I'm very worried."

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, this may be a lump formed on the tooth surface due to the teeth erupting and the gums not fully receding, covering the teeth. When the gums covering the teeth are injured during chewing, it may cause bleeding and redness and swelling of the gums. After the teeth have fully erupted, they will naturally recede. During this period, pay attention to oral hygiene and maintain a light diet. Another possibility is that if there is dental caries affecting the gums, it may also cause this situation to recur. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination.
