What Causes Swelling Of Gums In A Child?
My child just noticed his gum swollen on side of the mouth. It is on the far corner of the mouth on the left side. No fever. the node in the neck on the same side is swollen too. should I take him to see the doctor or dentist ASAP or wait for few days . I did make him rinse his mouth with saline. Thanks

Thanks for the query.
It seems like you might be having infection, as you are having nodes swollen on same side.
Continue warm saline gargles and see a dentist or pediatrician.
