The baby's gums are red and swollen, and the virus is influenza

Viral flu with red and swollen gums in babies can be caused by factors such as poor oral hygiene, improper diet, and viral infections. It is recommended that parents take their babies to the doctor in time and carry out targeted treatment after clarifying the cause.

1. Poor oral hygiene: If the baby usually does not pay attention to oral hygiene and does not develop the habit of brushing his teeth in the morning and evening, it may lead to the accumulation of food residues on the teeth, which will cause red and swollen gums. At the same time, if your baby eats too much sweets, such as candy, it will also lead to the growth of bacteria, resulting in the above symptoms. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the baby's oral hygiene, brush the baby's teeth every morning and evening, and avoid letting the baby eat too many sweets;

2. Improper diet: If the baby eats more spicy and stimulating food, such as chili pepper, mustard, etc., it may cause irritation to the gums, resulting in the above situation.It is recommended that parents pay attention to the baby's healthy diet, and try to focus on light and easy-to-digest foods, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc.;

3. Viral infection: If the baby is infected by the virus, it will lead to a decrease in the body's resistance, and the above symptoms will occur when stimulated by external factors. It is recommended that parents follow the doctor's instructions to give their babies antiviral drugs for treatment, such as ribavirin granules, oseltamivir phosphate granules, etc.

In addition to this, it may also be associated with Henoch-Schonlein purpura. It is recommended that parents take their babies to the hospital for treatment in time and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
