The baby is playful...he knocked out his tooth. It was bleeding at the time...his gums were already red and swollen...and haven't healed yet...this time...his gum is bruised...what should I do? The kind of help needed: should I give him medicine?Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old child has bumped their gum, with signs of broken skin, red and swollen gums. The child should drink more water and take some vitamin C. Rinse the face with lukewarm salt water.Advice: Take some amoxicillin to reduce inflammation and treat the condition. During this period, avoid eating hard foods and try to consume more liquid and soft foods. It will improve within a few days.
