Patient's question:
The baby started running a fever, but later it subsided. They noticed some redness and swelling in the gums. After taking anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing medicine for a few days, it didn't help. The baby won't eat, won't drink, has bad breath, and only drinks formula.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is preliminarily considered that this situation may be a symptom of gingivitis. Generally, gum inflammation is related to daily dietary habits, and it is important to seek timely treatment. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a follow-up check to see if there are any cavities. It is advisable to pay attention to oral hygiene, wash your face frequently, and eat less sweet food. Eating more fruits and fiber-rich vegetables can help reduce swelling in children and provide them with digestive vitamins.
