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.
