Question
My baby started having a fever on Sunday night and was diagnosed with tonsillitis by a doctor on the third afternoon, and medication has been prescribed. However, I noticed yesterday that the baby’s gums are red and swollen, with a fiery sensation in the lips. Can these medications treat these symptoms? Do I need to buy any other medicine? The baby has stopped having a fever today.
Answer
If your baby has a fever with red, swollen gums, it’s advisable to visit a dentist for examination and consultation. The initial guess is that it might be caused by inflammation of the primary tooth root tip. In addition to oral medication, it’s important to visit the dentist as soon as possible for an examination and consultation.
