Hi.. Pain is because permanent tooth eruption, if the pain is severe then give him paracetemol syrup.
Next Steps
No need to worry as the tooth comes out into the mouth the pain and discomfort will reduce.
Health Tips
Till then you have to take care of his maintenance like brushing and mouthwash after every meal. This decreases the risk of infection.

Hi,
Please visit a dentist and get a proper clinical examination. It could be due to the permanent tooth. Get an x-ray taken to rule out infection.

The appearance seems to be normal. It is mostly due to erupting permanent molar. The swelling and pain will eventually subside but if your child complains of excessive pain, give him a painkiller syrup according to his weight. In case you find that there is no relief, get an XRAY done for him.
Next Steps
Visit a paediatric dentist if the pain does not subside within three days of giving analgesic syrup.
Health Tips
Massage the area with a clean finger.
Give him semi solid food and a soft diet which will not impinge on the affected mucosa.

The condition is normal . usually the child can experience a pain n gums swelling when the new tooth is in close proximity to the milk tooth.if it is minimal ,just apply mucopain ointment on that n massage the gums slightly with clean hands.
If the pain is unbearable , better to use pain killer syrup according to the body weight of the kid.Ltr just visit a dentist for further treatment n evaluation
