Parents are advised to promptly take their children to see a dentist for professional treatment. Based on the child's specific condition, targeted medications—such as those that clear heat, detoxify, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain—may be prescribed. Attention should be paid to dietary adjustments: avoid spicy, greasy, and heat-inducing foods, and instead provide light, easily digestible meals while ensuring adequate fluid intake. Gently massaging the child's gums can help improve blood circulation and alleviate gum swelling and pain. Use fluoride toothpaste to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent bacterial infections. Pay close attention to the child's oral care by helping them brush their teeth properly every day to keep their teeth clean.
