Hi. I have a 4-year-old that recently started complaining that "my lip hurts." Upon investigating, I found that the gums on the bottom front have turned very red. The little flap of tissue that connects from the inside of the lip/mouth on the bottom to the gum is also inflammed and very sore. There arent any ulcers or patches that I can see and he just recently started to complain about 2-3 days ago. My son goes to the dentist regularly, has not had any issues, and we help him bursh his teeth on a regular basis. The top gums and sides seem fine. He does not have a fever, sore throat, or any rash on his body, hands, or feet. I wonder if somehow we have irritated it with the toothbrush, but he has a soft toothbrush and I dont THINK we have brushed too hard (although that might be a possibility). Anyone have any similar experience or any advice? It would be greatly appreciated.
