Hi Katherine,

What you are describing sounds a lot like Geezer had. We used to sit in the
bathroom with the shower running since we 'thought' he was stuffed up.
Turned out he had squamous cell carcinoma. The only way we knew was we did a
biopsy of the gum area of his mouth. I'm hoping that this is not what your
baby has.
