How to treat oral ulcers in children?

Patient's question:

This Tuesday morning, the child said their left cheek and chin were hurting. When I touched it, I found a round lump. At the doctor's, they said it was due to a heatstroke and there was no fever. They prescribed Cefixime, Pu Gai Lan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid, and Monkey Jujube and Cow bezoar Powder. By 4 PM that afternoon, the child had a fever of 39°C and took Motrin.
Since Wednesday, the child has been getting IV drips every day. They take medicine, have fevers, and then take Motrin, but the fever keeps coming back. Their oral condition is getting worse, and they can only drink water and thin porridge.

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms you mentioned, they are primarily caused by excessive heart fire, which manifests as oral ulcers. Treatment should focus on clearing the heart fire, and you can take Xie Xin Dao Chi San (A Modified Decoction for Clearing Heart Fire and Removing Fire from the Bladder) for this purpose.
