What Causes Blisters On Tongue And In Mouth Of A Child?

hello my son is 1 yr and 2 months he is getting all four of his molders and two of his front teeth at the same time he has red around the teeth that are growing and they look a little purple and he has two blisters one on the tip of his tongue and one on the roof of his mouth I'm guessing he's in a lot of pain because he won't eat any solids what could this be?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.....

As per your complain it seems that your son is in the teething phase and inflammation and swelling of gums is not abnormal finding..

During teething there is inflammation and swelling of the gums due to pressure and breaking of the gums for letting teeth to erupt in the mouth by cutting through the gums and the child can experience slight temperature rise also..

Canker sores on tongue is also due to inflammation while can also be due to viral infection..

So my suggestion is to give him Acetaminophen [Paracetamol or Tylenol] for pain and do cool compresses over the gums..
You can use a very soft toothbrush to clean his teeth and also be gentle and careful, not to touch the gums...
Give him a soft and semisolid diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
