If pediatric herpetic stomatitis is caused by a viral infection, antiviral medications such as antiviral oral solution or penciclovir can be used under medical guidance. If it is due to a fungal infection, nystatin can be used for local cleansing, followed by application of antifungal agents such as clotrimazole cream.
