Loosen gums after gum inflammation
My daughter 8+yr has undergone severe pain and swollen gums last week. The tooth is coming out in the upper gum and it's painful to eat. She had a fever and redness in upper gum. Also had a fever so we took medication. Now that all issues are resolved, she has loosened gums in lower jaw. It's not painful but clearly moving in and out at the tooth starting area. We are worried what could be the reason behind it, is it normal?

Cause of toothache has to be ruled out. If there is decayed tooth, get it removed or pulp therapy done depending on age of patient and depth of decay. If swelling is due to eruption of permanent tooth,Nothing to worry. Take antibiotics and analgesics to relieve pain. You can consult through this for prescription of medication to relieve pain and infection.
