Greetings
high fever combined with severe tooth pain and bleeding gums strongly indicates an oral infection or a dental abscess.Ensure she stays hydrated by offering frequent, tiny sips of water, milk, or clear fluids, as preventing dehydration is the highest priority while she refuses solid food.You can offer cool or smooth liquids to soothe her mouth, but avoid forcing her to eat if it causes her distress.

Hello,
Based on the history you have provided, it would be advisable to have your child’s mouth examined for any mouth ulcers, as these can cause pain and make eating difficult since she recently had a viral infection. Or even if it’s a dental pain it would be better to get her checked.
You may give Ibugesic syrup 5 mL once to help relieve pain, which may make it easier for her to eat and drink. Encourage plenty of fluids and offer soft, cool foods.

Hi
You should get your child examined be dentist. Bleeding from gums is not normal, she might have infection there or it can due to trauma while brushing. As of now you can give Ibugesic syrup and consult dentist as soon as possible.
Aapke bachhe ke symptoms, jaise ki high fever ke baad gums se bleeding aur teeth pain ke karan khana na kha pana, Gingivostomatitis, Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease, ya kisi Dental Abscess (daant mein infection) ki nishani ho sakte hain. Sabse pehle, dehydration se bachne ke liye thoda-thoda paani ya ORS pilate rahein. Koshish karein ki bachha naram aur thanda khana khaye jo chabane mein asaan ho. Kyunki gums se khoon aa raha hai aur bacha kuch bhi nahi kha pa raha, isliye bina deri kiye kisi Pediatrician ya Pediatric Dentist ko dikhayein taaki sahi diagnosis aur treatment ho sake.
Next Steps
if you want a video consultation then I'm available in case of urgency.
It could be due to a gum infection, a cavity, or mouth ulcers after the recent fever. Please check if there are any ulcers or swelling inside the mouth. Ensure she drinks plenty of fluids and offer soft, cool foods. You can give paracetamol for pain as per her weight. Since she is refusing to eat and her gums are bleeding, I recommend that she be examined by a pediatrician or pediatric dentist today to identify the exact cause and start appropriate treatment. If she is unable to drink fluids, has facial swelling, or develops fever again, seek medical care immediately.
