Herpesvirus causes visible sores in the mouth which are mostly in the anterior part, on the lips and tongue, along with swelling of gums. If the sores are mostly in the posterior part, on the soft palate, the virus causing it is Coxsackie which has no specific treatment and acyclovir containing medicines are not helpful. If you could take a picture and upload it by tapping + sign above, it will help in diagnosis. In the presence of sores in the mouth the child cannot take salted or spicy foods. He can tolerate sweet and chilled juices and cold soft foods better especially ice cream. At times when food intake is very poor admission to a hospital and fluids and nutrition through veins are needed.
