What Causes Sore Throat With Laryngitis And Tongue Ulcers?
My 3 year old daughter has had a croaky voice for a few days now, although she hasnt complained of a sore throat. Today her tongue has come up in lots of little white ulcers and it is stopping her eating. Any ideas? Herpes simplex was suggested by daycare centre? No foot nor hand sores.
Hi, thank you for the question. when i see such cases i just treat them symptomatically as viral fever. they usually subside in 3-5 days. the ulcers are usually very painful hence the child refuse to take anything orally. i prescribe them topical anaesthetic gel like zytee for pain relief.
