Suggest Treatment For Fever, Mouth Sores And Body Aches
Question: my five year old grand daughter has been having a fever for three days. But now her mouth is red and sore, she is complaining about aches and pains. Her cheeks are also rosey.
Brief Answer:
Topical anesthetic gels should help
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. Incidentally, oral lesions like this are common in viral infections in children. You can apply Anbesol Oral Anesthetic Gel topically for relief. You need to be patient. Such a thing usually lasts for 5-7 days (from onset) irrespective of treatment.
She can also be given to use chlorhexidine mouth wash.
Feel free to write back.
Regards
