my son is 15 months and his back teeth are coming in, but there is a blueish bump on his gum and it is swelled

Answer 1

blood blister or bruise

Answer 2

Hey! Those blueish bumps are normal. Wet a facecloth and wrap it around your finger, you can massage his gum or allow him to chew as long as the other teeth he may have isnt biting into you. Teething cookies, teething rings, that sorta thing will make the pressure lessen, something from the pharmacy will make the pain a little less as well. If you still have doubts, talk to your pediatrician or dentist. Good luck!!

Answer 3

Ouch, that is too bad and that means it is giving him a really hard time and it hurts a lot. Give the child something for the pain and something to chew on, Popsicles are good. It isn't that unusual but if it doesn't break through or if he runs a high fever take him to see the Dr. It could be abscessing. It's never too soon to get them to start cleaning their mouths, a tooth brush and a little toothpaste at the table after meals is a good thing to keep the mouth clean and get him used to it. Good luck.

Answer 4

the blueish bump is probably the bruising where is tooth is appearing it will swell up.
have you tried yet a teething gel or something cold lie a ice cube

Answer 5

Yes. He's teething. It's normal. Give him something hard to chew on. They make liquid-filled teething rings that you can freeze. It feels so good on their gums. If he gets a slight fever (also common) give him some baby Tylenol. Don't give him Oragel. That will damage his gums. It's very harsh stuff.

Answer 6

Awww!!! Poor little guy! It is probably just swelling from teething. My baby brother had the same problem, and we saw a pediatric dentist. he gave us medicine and it helped greatly.

Answer 7

have him see a orthodontist,. but i think this is just bruising of the gums which are starting to pierce through exposing his teeth,.,

good luck,. thanks- ---- get the tooth fairy ready,.,.
