Suggest Treatment For Reddish Swollen Gum

My 22 months old daughter has redish swollen top gum (bottom gum is fine). She is refusing food (even a very soft salmon) for 2 days now and only eats cereal soaked in milk. She also acted very cranky yesterday. I didn't notice any sore spots in her month or tongue. Oh, and she has some sore spots on her upper lip only. I am trying to find a dentist in my local area but in the meantime, are there any remedies that can help to heal the sore lip and calm her gums? Thanks in advance.

hi,
it is more likely a erupting tooth, in such case u dont have to worry much, but still meet a local dentist for local examination.
does the child had recent stomach upset, in that case sachet econorm once a day fo three days is advisable with no harm.
wish u a good health
