[|Human|] My son is 8 months old and he is teething. I have found him sucking on his bottom lip alot and now he has what looks like white sores on his lips and tip of tounge. It doesn t seem to bother him and he doesn t have a fever. Should I be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per query your son have symptoms of white sores on lips and tongue which seems to be normal during teething. Sometimes it is due to fungal infection and poor oral hygiene.  Although they can be uncomfortable, avoid touching or pricking them with any sharp object. I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine carefully and rule out conditions like scarlet fever, syphilis and traumatic fibrous. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory. For now do warm saline rinses several times a day and maintain proper oral hygiene. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
