A. If your 1 year 6-month-old hit the wall and has blue discoloration (bruise) on the upper gum, here’s what you should check:
✅ What to Check:
🔹 Swelling or Bleeding – Is there any continuous bleeding or excessive swelling?
🔹 Loose or Broken Teeth – Gently check if any teeth are loose or chipped.
🔹 Pain or Discomfort – Is your baby refusing to eat or drink due to pain?
🔹 Gum Injury – Look for cuts or deep wounds in the gum.
🩹 What You Can Do at Home:
✔️ Cold Compress – Apply a clean cold spoon or ice pack (wrapped in cloth) to the area for 5-10 minutes to reduce swelling.
✔️ Soft Foods – Give soft, cool foods like yogurt or mashed bananas.
✔️ Monitor for 24-48 Hours – Check for any changes in color, pain, or swelling.
✔️ Maintain Oral Hygiene – Gently clean the area with a soft cloth or baby toothbrush.
🚨 When to See a Doctor?
❌ Persistent bleeding that won’t stop.
❌ Extreme swelling or pus formation.
❌ Loose, broken, or displaced teeth.
❌ Baby is in severe pain or refusing to eat/drink.
If the bruise is mild and there is no severe pain, it should heal in a few days. But if you notice any worsening symptoms, consult a pediatric dentist. Let me know if you need more help! 😊
