Tonsilitis: You child probably has a virus, but take him to your doctor for a throa culture to rule out strep throat.

See below: Most of the time a good moisturizing cream and pumice stone will do the trick.

Answer 3

Brush, rinse, floss: Brush and keep them clean, floss them gently and try rinsing with warm salt water in that area specifically. Rinse for a minute or so or as long as you can. This should help it go away. If the swelling is not going away you need to see your dentist to have it checked out. Good luck.

Answer 4

Swollen Gums: Swollen gums could be a possible sign of infection. Go and see your dentist as soon as possible if you need the swelling to go down in 72 hours. It could be something as simple as getting your teeth cleaned, or it could be something much worse.

Answer 5

Go to your dentist: A swollen gum is not normal. You may have an infection in the gum, bone, or tooth. Not only is this uncosmetic, but very unhealthy. Call your dentist today for and evaluation, and discussion of your options. With assistance from your dentist, it is quite possible to resolve this within your time period. With no dental treatment......? Who knows... Call today.

Answer 6

Swollen Gums: It could be anything from a dental abscess do to a dead tooth, localized acute gingivitis or periodontitis. Your best alternative is to see a dentist right away, get properly diagnosed and start treatment or medication to resolve your problem. Swelling not associated with trauma is usually associated with an infection.

Answer 7

Why 72 hours?: Not sure why 72 hours is important to you, however, if your gums are red, irritated and swollen, you should see your dentist asap. There is either a long standing gum problem or you may have an acute issue that can be resolved quickly. You probably can't treat this on your own.

Answer 8

Brush : Depending on the severity of the swelling and the reason for it, you may be able to get some resolution by brushing.

Answer 9

Many diseases : You should see your dermatologist for treatment and evaluation. This way you can find out the cause.

Answer 10

Infant vomiting: Vomitting infants can be serious as it would not take long for them to get dehydrated. Vomiting can be a sign of other illness such as upper respiratory infections, ear infections and not just GI illness, best to have infants evaluated as soon as possible.

Answer 11

Hydroquinone cream: Try hydroquinone cream. Rub in a small amount 2 times each day. You can find a 2% hydroquinone cream over the counter in most pharmacies. Natural liquorice extract is another treatment that works but is usually not as effective.
