What should I do if my baby’s teeth are corroded and the gums are swollen and painful?

Question 1: What are these bean-like pimples on children’s gums? Slight pain, just felt today. Also, are the baby’s teeth corroded or something else? My baby was asked to brush her teeth when she was less than two years old, but her upper front teeth were a bit bad when they came in. What is the problem? Dr. Zhang Yanmei’s answer: If there is tooth decay in that area, it is considered that the gums are inflamed. Eat a lighter diet, or drink Qingrejiedu oral liquid. Some children are born with bad teeth, which is related to the salivary enzymes in the mouth and cannot be changed. It will be better when they are older. However, it is still recommended that parents take their children to the dental department for a check-up, because the child\’s dental caries are more serious and may affect the child\’s eating. In addition, when a child\’s first deciduous teeth erupt, they should use fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth, and age should not be used as a criterion. At the same time, it should be noted that children cannot brush their teeth cleanly. Children should not be allowed to brush their teeth too early. Either an adult will do it for them, or the child will brush once and the parents will brush again. Otherwise, the purpose of cleaning will not be achieved. Question 2: Is it a problem for a 20-day-old baby to spit up a lot of milk multiple times a day? Dr. Wang Yanli’s answer: To see if the child’s weight gain is normal, burp after each feeding and lie down with the upper body elevated at 45 degrees after feeding. If you pay attention to burping and the vomiting persists after changing your body position, it is best to go to the hospital to check whether there is pyloric hypertrophy or pyloric stenosis. Question 3: I was preparing to have a baby recently, but I suddenly had diarrhea today, so I took four pills of norfloxacin. I had my period last month, but I still don’t know if I am pregnant. If I am pregnant, will taking this medicine have any effect? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: The current view is that it is yes or no. The impact of early drugs is that either it cannot be preserved or it is fine. If the pregnancy can be preserved, it will not be a big problem.
