question: My daughter is 2. She will be 3 in November. She has all of her teeth in and we brush them everyday. This morning she woke up saying her teeth hurt. Her gums are red and swollen. I just used her toothbrush to move her cheek out so I could get a good look. When I took the toothbrush out it was red with blood. I didn t brush, I just used it to push her check out. I gave her 5ml of Tylenol at 8:45 tonight. At 9:20 her fever was still 101.9. She is in the middle of a growth spirt right now. But I can t imagine that would cause her gums to be red, swollen and bloody or give her such a fever.
