Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain teething commonly begins in infants around the age of 6 months and is not seen so early..
While there is one condition in which within one month teeth like structures grow and it is known as NATAL TEETH..

Other reason for swollen gums can be infection in gums caused due to taking in mouth of uncleaned hands by your infant..

Other reason can be canker sores..

I would suggest you to consult a paediatric dentist and get evaluated and treatment can be planned accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . Well this is very common problem in babies while teething . During teething gums swells because of two reasons .

- Firstly because gums get hurt while teethibg .

- Secondly immunity of baby is low during teething so they get infected easily.

I would suggest you to :-

- Rub clean finger on gums to make them numb for some time .

- Give your baby a dummy to chew .Silicone based chewing rings (sterile )

- Keep baby's diet healthy .

- Apply teething gels which are available , which contain local anesthesia and antibiotics .

- You can also apply honey on gums which is a natural antiseptic.

If symptoms persist or get worse then consult pediatrician or pedodontist for proper examination . Doctor may give oral antibiotics .

You can also give ibuprofen or paracetamol , But only according to dose prescribe by the doctor .

hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
