Hello thanks for consulting at hcm..
he might have herpes viral infection.. Resulting in primary acute gingivostomatitis.
keep oral hygiene clean by brushing softly,since it is very painful..use 1tbsn baking soda diluted with water,use it as mouthrinse..
you may need topical antiviral and anesthetic under the guidance of your dentist..
plz consult a oral physician..
hope it helps..take care
