What department should a child with oral ulcers and herpes visit?

When a child develops oral ulcers or herpes lesions, the appropriate department can be selected based on specific circumstances: 1. It is recommended to visit the dental clinic (dentistry department), as this department specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of teeth, gums, and other oral tissues. 2. If oral ulcers or herpes lesions are accompanied by fever or other severe symptoms, the emergency department can also be considered initially for evaluation, ensuring timely management of the condition. 3. Since oral herpes in children is usually caused by viruses and its symptoms resemble those of other common childhood illnesses, pediatrics is also an appropriate choice. In the pediatrics department, the physician will perform a physical examination and inquire about the child's medical history before determining whether further referral to a dental clinic or other specialist is needed. When a child develops oral ulcers or herpes lesions, priority can be given to the dental clinic, with a decision made regarding whether to visit the emergency department or pediatrics based on the severity of the condition. If uncertain, please consult a relevant physician.
