Erosion of teeth and gums with irregular bleeding can be a sign of gum disease, enamel loss, or infection. It is important to see a dentist soon. Meanwhile, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, floss carefully, and avoid very hard or acidic foods to prevent further damage.

Swollen and inflamed gums after a viral fever are common due to temporary irritation or reduced immunity. You can rinse your mouth with warm salt water, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, and avoid very hot, spicy, or hard foods. If swelling, pain, or bleeding persists for more than a few days, see a dentist, as you may need treatment for gum infection or inflammation.
