My baby girl of two months have started teething i can say so surely because it has already started to appear, she has hlhs, is this a problem?

No problem : Many 2 month old babies develop swelling of the gums. Gently brush the gums twice a day or wipe with a washcloth. Chewing on a cold wet washcloth will decrease pain and swelling. Do not use orajel since babies can suffer life-threatening side effects. Remember that hlhs patients need take antibiotics before some dental procedures...Please alert your dentist of the heart condition.

Teething not problem: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is not impacted by teething. If the child shows signs of distress such as difficulty feeding or trouble breathing or lethargy, call your pediatrician or cardiologist.
