What Causes Rashes Around The Mouth And Difficulty In Eating?

Grandson chewers his shirt & also very rarely walks mostly runs in the house. Can never remember what he ate from 1 day ago . He is very academic excels in school .. he also sticks his tongue out a lot to the point that he gets a rash around his mouth .. very well manned & loving .. my son took custody of him when he was 4 as his mother was not responsible etc she is the daughter of my sons wife from 1 st marriage . He use to cry a lot & has scares on his tongue from biting from crying . My daughter in law says these issues are just quirks I don t think so . Hope to hear from you .Thank you , Victoria Rawlins

Hi Victoria Rawlins

After going through your query I understand your concern about your Grandson.

I would like to tell you that it can be cold sore/ herpes labialis that generally infect children of his age. You can ease his discomfort by
- Applying ice or warm washcloth
- give him chilled smoothies to keep him Hyderated
- don't give acidic food, it can irritate the cold sore

See a Pediatrician if it doesn't go within 10 days.

Hopefully this has answered your query.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Mahajan
