What is the reason for the baby having a high fever for three days with cracked gums?

Patient's question:

A baby who is two weeks and eight days old has had a high fever for three days. After the fever subsided, the entire mouth and oral cavity developed ulcers, with everything being (alled). It has been five or six days now, and the baby is not eating much. The gums are also cracked. What is going on? What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

You can use Kangfuxin liquid, three to five minutes each time, three to six times a day. Have a liquid diet and soft food for bowel movements. If bowel movements are disrupted, intravenous treatment can be administered, with cefotaxime or penicillin-class medications, provided there is no allergy to cefotaxime or penicillin. At the same time, antiviral medications should be used to ensure adequate nutrition is taken in, which can promote ulcer healing and scarring. You can also go to the hospital and receive treatment with the help of a doctor.
