What Causes Small White Bumps In Mouth?
My son and daughter, ages 5 and 6, have had a fever for three days. They complain of sore throats. We have seen our physician, who promptly prescribed amoxicillan. Now a day after starting the antibiotic, they have both developed small white bumps in their mouths. What are they? All vaccines are up to date.

3. Though may fever in general practice are cieal and harmless,one should always try to find the cause of the fever by evaluating associated symptoms.
