Mouth Ulcers
On the inside of your child’s mouth, or on the surface of their gums or tongue, mouth ulcers typically resemble spherical, white lesions.
These sores can hurt, particularly if your child consumes foods that are spicy, salty, or sour. Your youngster may occasionally even refuse food until the ulcers begin to heal.
Your youngster may also be feverish if the ulcers are being caused by an infection.
Treatment for mouth ulcers
Simple mouth ulcers heal in about a week and typically don’t require treatment.
Try using a numbing oral gel on the region if your child is in pain. These mouth gels are available at your local pharmacy. If your child is old enough to rinse or gargle with liquids, you can also try warm salt water rinses.
Offer your child tiny, frequent sips of water to help them drink adequate fluids. Dehydration will be lessened as a result. Salty, spicy, or sour foods should also be avoided by your youngster.
Treatments for cold sore viruses and thrush-related oral infections are specialised. If your child need these, your GP will inform you about them.
