[|Human|] My 6 year old had recurrent swollen glands and recurrent, painful lesions on his gums and sometimes inner lip. They sometime bleed during brushing. They eventually go away and reoccur in a different part of his mouth. Please help. His Pediatrician only says, it s viral and use oragel.
[|AI|]  Hello, I can understand your concern. The recurrent swollen glands can be due to viral or bacterial infection, but the ulcer like lesions in the mouth seems to be like authors ulcers which are painful ulcers healing in 7-10 days and recurring in different parts of mouth. Apthous ulcers can occur if the child has constant upset stomach or vitamin B complex deficiency. I would advise you to start vitamin B complex supplements such as B-Folcin once a day for 1 month. In addition, you can apply local Endocrine gel (McCoppin) over the ulcers. It will help in faster healing of the ulcers and relief from pain of the ulcers. If the child is constantly having constipation or upset stomach, laxatives should be given after consultation with a physician. If the ulcers do not heal in 7 days or if they keep recurring, you should consult a dentist for clinical examination of the ulcers and further investigations along with treatment. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your child feels better soon. Best,
