Hi all ... my little one is a very late teether. She is almost 19 months old and has only four and a half teeth, all very hard-earned. She was miserable yesterday, which made sense when I explored her gums and discovered a mushy cyst about the size of a standard marble along her gum, where she's been working on a tooth there.
I looked it up on-line (so not very helpful) and discovered that it's likely an eruption cysts, fluid/blood filled that will resolve when the tooth breaks through.
She doesn't have a fever, but is telling me, "Owie, tooth hurts ... mouth owie, mama!"
Does anyone have any experience with these? It's not the usual bump, but much larger and obviously fluid filled.
Internet says not to rupture it, which makes sense being that that would increase chance of infection.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these? We're going camping this weekend and I don't want her to be any more uncomfortable than need be.
