There are several types of mouth sores, such as common conditions like oral ulcers, thrush, and herpetic gingivostomatitis. Therefore, when a child develops mouth sores, it is best to identify the underlying cause and treat it promptly based on the specific etiology. For oral ulcers, a light diet is recommended, along with the topical application of lidocaine gel to promote healing of the ulcerated area. Thrush, usually caused by a fungal infection, can be treated with antifungal medications, such as sodium bicarbonate injection solution or itraconazole ointment applied externally.
