Ok, well we took him to the Dr's today.... and not even the Dr was 100% sure.
She looked in his ears... they seemed to be ok, but she did say that one was a bit 'pink'... but then said nothing further.
Then she checked in his mouth, and thats when she noticed this huge lump on his bottom gum. She said it was definately abnormally large, but as it didnt seem very red or inflamed she wasnt sure if it was infected. Plus, it was on the left side - whereas his flaming red cheek & ear were on his right side. He has a smaller lump on his rightside gum though, which has gotten progressively bigger as the day has passed.
She wasn't happy with putting his fever down to just teething though. Cause it has been really high, and he has had it for almost 48 hours now on and off. So she suspects an infection somewhere, but she's not sure if its in the gums, or if its something unrelated like a UTI... so I took a wee sample from Aidyn today and we handed that in, just to get that checked out so we are covering all bases.
anyway, I can't say I'm that happy with the Dr's prognosis... or lack-thereof. But if he is still ill tomorrow I think we will get a second opinion.

Can I ask, has anyone else ever had their babies develop massive lumps on their gums that were infected??
