He keep holding his throught when he drinks and seems to shake when he is walking. he is 1 year and 9 months old. I do not know what to do? The GP has not prescribed anything.

Hello. I just read through your question.
In most cases, this is caused by a virus, like your GPS said. The mouth pain can be significant at times and this puts the children at risk of dehydration. It is important to make sure he takes a sip of clear fluid every 10-15 minutes to avoid dehydration. Within a few days the illness will pass.
