Q: This is about my daughter who is 4 years old. She has developed a cyst on her gums from the last 15 days. We have been told not to fiddle with it or try to remove it as it will be of no use. The cyst is painless. Is there any medication with which we can get rid of this cyst?

A:There is no medication to remove the cyst until it if infective and has erupted due to infection in one of the milk tooth. I will still advise you to refer to pediatric dentist for confirmation.
