I got scare and I want to know what s going on.but she went to sleep already. but what is causing it
You should open her mouth and examine it under a strong flashlight to figure out what caused the bleeding. It could be dental, gums, tongue, floor of the mouth, tonsils, roof of the mouth. There could be a cut, ulcers, or other problems. Look for redness, swelling and oozing from the site. If nothing is found, it might be best to go to an oral surgeon to discover the cause of the bleeding. You could do it after she is awake and about. Please mention the age of your daughter in your next follow-up question so that we can help you better.
