My 3 year old niece has red swollen gums and a fever--what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Viral infection : Those symptoms are consistent with one of many viruses three year olds get that cause gingivitis. Teething generally doesn't cause fever. If other symptoms are present such as loose stools, malaise, decreased appetite, or cold symptoms, then it is quite likely a viral infection.
