Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This is eruption gingivitis common in kids.
You can give your child a full course of antibiotics.
Warm salt water gargle thrice daily.
Brush twice daily.(don't worry even if it bleeds)
If you think his oral hygiene is poor, you can take him to the hygienist.
This will subside after the eruption.
You must panic if the bleeding is profuse or if the selling increases in size.
Regards.
