Suggest Remedy For Bleeding Gums
Hello my son has had bleeding gums for about 3 days now. His gums bleed especially when he bumps into something slightly. He had a mild fever in the beginning which has subsided. He also has really bad breath and some mouth sores. Last night he was drooling really bad and his drool was mixed with blood, it was so bad that he vomited all over his bed. What do you think this is?

Hi....looks like gingivitis. This is a bacterial infection of the gums and other soft tissues in the oral cavity. He definitely will need some oral antibiotics and antiseptic mouth washes...I suggest you see your paediatric dentist as soon as possible before the actual tooth decay sets in.
