Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My daughter is 13 months old. I just noticed a big yellowish sag at the place of her first molar gum. I am very worried.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You should put your finger inside her mouth and check if it is moving or if it has fluid-filled inside the swelling. We need to first confirm whether it is any foreign body. I mean like anything that sticks in her mouth, so put your finger and manually touch it to see if it is moving. If it is a water-filled swelling, then it can be a cyst, which needs to be removed. Did she eat anything unusual or something that might have injured her mouth? You should visit a pedodontist (child specialist) soon for a physical evaluation.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
When I touched it, I got to know that it was some foreign object. Thank you very much and I am sorry for my panic reaction.
