My 6 year old daughter has an ulcer on her upper gum. There were 2 side by side ulcers to begin with about 6 weeks ago, they both disappeared. Today I ve noticed she has an ulcer and when I pressed on it pus appeared. She has no pain whatsoever but I m wondering what to do?

Hi
Normally mouth ulcers disappear in few days But if they persist more than two weeks or recurring ,its important to consult with a good pedodontist.
Mouthe ulcer can happen due to some nutritional deficiency like vitamin B12 and iron.
Vitamin and iron sppliment should be given.Take care of her oral hygine , Brush teeth properly in circular motion very gently.Keep her mouth clean.Rinse mouth after every meal.
Apply mucogel on the ulcers.Never touch them with hand and dont try to press them.
You can notice if there is any sharp tooth structure in hèr mouth.If yes take her to a dental clinic to make it smooth.Give her balance healthy diet.
