My baby boy age is 5.5 months. He scratched his gums with his finger nails when he is sucking them. we noticed blood on his gums when he started crying with the pain, he stopped when we feeded. He didnt cry when we feeded again couple of times in mid night. But when we started feeding 3rd time he severely started crying ..he didn't stop it.But after some time he stopped crying, we were in confusion whether he cried with gums pain or with some thing else? Is there any medicine or something we need to give him If it is due to gums pain due to nail scratch...please help us
