Patient's question:
The baby had a high fever a few days ago, which caused their mouth and tongue to be sore. Previous treatment and outcomes: No treatment was given, just the high fever was treated, and it was resolved during the fever. During the fever, the mouth became sore. What kind of help is expected: Hope the doctor can guide what medicine is better to use, besides the compound benzocaine gel that was just applied. Can there be any side effects? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is due to a viral infection causing high fever. In such cases, it is necessary to administer muscle injection of analgesin to reduce fever. Then, using acyclovir ointment for topical treatment around the mouth is advisable. Additionally, pay attention to oral hygiene around the mouth, and using povidone-iodine and alcohol for sterilization is a good choice.The above advice is for the question "One-year-old baby taking compound benzocaine gel." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
