Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM,
Read your query, bluish red swollen gums can be due to viral stomatitis as she had history of viral fever so it can be Herpes gingivostomatitis .
Dont be worried so much I will advise you to consult dentist and go for examination of gingiva , inmeantime you can apply ointment Acivir on gums by consulting with your local doctor.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing her good health.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
