Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
As your child is 13 months old, there will be erruption of the milk teeth, it is very necessary to maintain a good oral and general health of the child.
Sores can be because of viral infection. I would suggest you to take your child specialist and get the checkup done.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Use lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Hope this helps out.
Regards..
