Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 2 year old daugher just had dental surgery yesterday. 4 caps and several fillings. of course her mouth adn gums are sore but around 2 of the cap sites she is still bleeding and it looks red/white. it hurts therefore she wont eat and doesnt want me to brush or rinse her mouth. I dont want her to get a secondary infection
Hi...bleeding gums now for a surgery done yesterday is too long a time to wait still without evaluating. I suggest you evaluate him for a bleeding disorder. But I am sure that they would have done a PT, aPTT, Clotting time and Bleeding time before going ahead with the surgery. I suggest you get him evaluated by a hematologist on the suggestion of your pediatrician. Regards - DR. Sumanth
