Suggest remedy for swollen lips with white patches on gums
Patient: My 8 month old son fell face down off the bed and was bleeding from his mouth and nose and it looks like there's a scratch on his upper lip. His lip is swollen and has white patches on his upper gums. Do you think it's from his two bottom teeth biting into it? What should I do? Doctor: Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. It can be possible that when he has fallen from bed, he got hurt on the gums either from lower teeth or from floor, now this has caused a traumatic ulcer on the gums.Better that once you should visit a pedodontist and get complete examination of gums done. And even start with a topical anesthetic gel on ulcer for relief.Hope it will help you.
