Suggest Treatment For A Painful Bump On The Gum
My 7 year old daughter has a bump on her gum above her tooth the size of a 1/2 an eraser, pimple size.
We gargled warm salt water. I gave her the only motrin I had (infants), 1 and 3/4 teaspoon. Is there anything else I can do? She is crying with pain :(
