Child Has Fever, Swollen Gums, Thrash, Molars Coming Out, Loss Of Appetite. Is It Gingivitis?

my 2 year old daughter has a fever of 2 days now, and when giving her a bath today, and brushing her teeth I looked into her mouth and saw a thrash, swollen gums and her last molars coming in. I also noticed that around nearly all her teeth were a thin blood line as if it was gingivitis. I just brush her teeth once a day, but I always clean it very well and never noticed anything like this before. she has had thrash on other occasions but never what I have seen today. Also loss of appetite and that includes drinking. From what I observed, all of her gums are swollen and I noticed a small red spot on the upper left cheek inside her mouth. Thank you for any advice.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that your child has developed inflammation of gums known as Gingivitis.
I would suggest you to take your child to the Dentist and get the checkup done, go for symptomtic treatment of complete mouth scaling and polishing.
Give him lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.
Maintain a good oral hygiene of your child.

Take care.
