What are the reasons for yellowing of newborn's gums

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask what is the reason for the yellowing of the gums in newborns

Doctor's answer:

Hello; It is normal, formed by the accumulation of oral epithelial cells or retention of glandular secretions in newborns, which can disappear on their own after several weeks without affecting the child. Dilute salt water or boracic powder solution can be used for cleaning. During this period, maintain good oral hygiene for the child. If the child is threatened by newborn diseases, family members must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
