Suggest Cause For Swollen Gums With Sores

Hi, My grandson is two. He has purple swollen gums with some sores in his mouth, It is painful for him to eat and the last 2 days he hardly drinks. He just returned from Florida where he started getting sick along with his dad, His dad is starting to get the same thing with his gums. We are worried about dehydration.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the purple swollen gums could be because of the gum infection or hemmorrhage or ecchymosis of the gums or it can be a mucocoele or eruption cyst. consult your oral physician to rule out these things, take a radiogrpah of that tooth. get you blood investigations done like BT, CT, INR AND PT. Do saline gargling, i hope my answer will help you. take care.
