Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dear,

Is there any fever?
Any lesions on lips/gingiva?
Can you send a picture?

This can suggest hand foot mouth, or herpes. Herpes will benefit from antiviral therapy with acyclovir. Kindly get back with details or take her to pediatrician.

Meanwhile, continue calpol every 6 hours, and give meftal(mafenamic acid) syrup 5ml 2-3 times a day if pain is not coming with calpol. Make her drink lot of fluids like ORS or salted rice water.

Let me know if I can assist you further
