Patient's question:
The baby started running a fever on Sunday evening. In the afternoon of the third day, we took the baby to the hospital. The doctor said it was tonsillitis and prescribed two types of medicine. Yesterday, we noticed that the baby's gums were swollen and red, and the lips looked irritated. Will these two medicines help treat it, or do we need to buy a specific medicine for the swollen and red gums? The baby is no longer running a fever today.Doctor's answer:
Baby has a fever, swollen and red gums. It is recommended to visit an oral pediatric department for examination and consultation. Based on the situation you described, it is preliminarily judged to be an inflammation of the root tip of a deciduous tooth. Inflammation of the root tip of a deciduous tooth can also cause fever. In addition to oral medication, it is important to visit an oral pediatric department for examination and consultation as soon as possible.The above is the suggestion for the question "Baby has already started to have a fever on Sunday evening." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
