Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of fever and soreness in mouth which is due to viral infection mainly due to herpes and it is due to poor immunity of body. It could be due to poor oral hygiene. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply calamine lotion on these sores. You should take antiviral medication such as Acyclovir. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after examination. Apply dologel for soreness in mouth. In some cases it will develop bacterial infection as well so you should apply mupirocin gel on these sores and take antibacterial medication. You can go for application of tretinoin cream over the affected area with proper medical supervision.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
