Three year old boy had really red and swollen gums with a fever ranging from 101 to 104 the last two days.  Tylenol brings it down but by next dose it shoots right back up.  Sleepy but no other symptoms.  Is it just teething?  He seems to have all his teeth.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swollen gums and fever could be because of teething or eruption of teeth, or it can be secondary to tooth infection or herpes viral infection. Consult a pediatric dental surgeon and get it ruled out. If it is because of teething it will come down after a course of antibiotics and once the tooth erupts. If it is because of the tooth infection then tooth has to be treated. If it is viral infection, you have to take symptomatic treatment. Make your child to gargle with saline. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
