What Is The Remedy For The Lumps Around The Lip And Nose In A 5 Year Old?
I have a 5 year old son who has little white bumps around his top lip and near his nose. He also has a few lie bumps on his tongue. They look pimplish in nature, not blistery. He has also complained of a little bit of a sore throat? What could cause these symptoms?
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Even though it needs to be examined clinically for a diagnosis, from your history of sore throat and bumps around the lip and near his nose points to a viral infection like herpes. This would go off of its own in about a week's time. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a multivitamin and some anti inflammatory drug for a symptomatic relief and if need be, an anti viral cream.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
