Thanks for using Health care Magic.

Read your query.

Viral fever is usually the cause of this symptoms in the oral cavity.
I would advice you to control the fever and consult your pediatrician if it is not in control.

For the swollen gums, it will reduce gradually once the fever comes down. Avoid anything spicy and hard food. Increase the fluid intake and keep the child hydrated.

Mucopain gel/dentogel application will provide relief for the sores.If still persisting once the fever comes down, consult the dentist.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
