Hello. My 8 month old is cutting his upper teeth. He seems congeted and his voice is nasely. Is this related to the teething? His gums also look swallon and there is a bright red opening where is tooth is coming in. He is happy and it doesn't seem to bother him. Is this all normal. His bottom teeth were not like this at all. I can feel the tooth.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
I think for this problem you should consult to an ENT Specialist.For inflammation in the gums i would suggest you to give your child lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses 3-5 times a day, give him a complete balanced diet and maintain a very good oral hygiene.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Take care!
