My daughter is 10, has been running a
fever for 5 days I took her to the Dr.
Yesterday. Now she is still having fever,
along with sores in her mouth. They are
very sensitve. What does this indicate?

Mouth Sores? Posted: 03-29-05 01:42am
It sounds to me like your daughter might
have been coming down with chicken pox but
i'm sure your doctor would have picked up
on that. If you give a child anything for
fever or pain at the onset of chicken
pox...It causes them to break out inside
instead of outside. The fever and the
sores are her only symptoms? Could also
be mono. In either case....Keep the
interior of her mouth clean and rinse with
warm soda water. This will draw the
poison out of the sores and aid in
healing. A mild solution of hydrogen
peroxide and warm water might also be
beneficial for rinsing her mouth after she
brushes her teeth. Do not give orange
juice to her as this could be the result
of a high acid condition in her system.
Good luck!
