22 month old with red bleeding gums

by Alyson9111, Jul 20, 2008 06:00PM
All of a sudden this week my toddlers gums have become inflamed and started bleeding.  He had become extremely irritable at night and this started 2 days ago.  Any suggestions on what could be going on?

Is it possible he's having some more teeth coming through?   Two common signs are irritability and red, inflamed gums.

Sudden onset of generalized gingival swelling in young children is commonly associated with primary herpes infection. Seeing a pediatrician or oral medicine specialist is advised.
