My child was taking a steroid medication due to a bronchial cough for 5 days. Yesterday she as I brushed her teeth I noticed she had a swollen bump on her gum above her tooth. She started complaing about pain. What can I do. Was it due to the medication?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have swollen gum after medication of steroid may be it OS due to allergic reaction or due to periodontal (gum) infection also due to poor oral hygiene that is deposition AOF food debris causing you Periodontal Abscess. Consult dentist and go for Scaling and curettage.  Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you.
