A newborn baby who is fifteen days old has many bubbles in their mouth. What's going on?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is likely caused by a virus or an internal heat condition. The sores in the mouth are also known as perioral herpes clinically, which is caused by a viral infection. It is recommended to take antiviral medication or traditional Chinese medicine formulations for clearing heat and detoxifying for treatment.
