These ulcers are usually self limiting but may take long time one week to two.
Anesthetic gel are available in the market like (mucopain gel. dologel etc) These gel can be applied many times a day especially before meals, so that child can accepts orally.
Clotrimazole gel to be avoided as it may be painful to child. It is used for the fungal infection of oral cavity (oral thrush).
