What Can Your Child’s Swollen or Bleeding Gums Tell You?
A recent study, conducted by Pediatric Rheumatology, found that children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) suffered from more gum inflammation than their healthy peers due to gingivitis.
If your child is experiencing gum inflammation in conjunction with JIA symptoms, including:
- stiffness upon waking up
- difficulty utilizing fine motor skills
- low activity levels
- unexplained fevers or rashes
It may be time to consult with your pediatrician.
