Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Mouth Of A Kid

MY 7yr old daughter has been moving her mouth constantly, opening and closing her mouth as well as stretching her upper lip up and down. I checked her mouth and she has a sore on her inner cheek, perhaps a canchor sore. I also think she bites her cheeks when she sleeps.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain a sore on the inner cheek can probably a canker sore and biting of cheek during sleep or there can be a habit of teeth grinding or bruxism or teeth clenching..

In case if she is continuously opening and closing her mouth and stretching her lip just now and is not a regular habit then it can be related to pain in mouth or any stress or anxiety related situation..

For sore you can apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine over it..
Vitamin B complex should be given..
Make her suck ice lollies and give her a soft diet..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
