How To Treat A Child With Fever And Bumps On Chin?
I have a 2 yr old little girl who is running a fever, has a couple of bumps on her chin and mouth area, she is also drooling and bitting on items. She cries it hurts and it seems she is talking about her mouth. I am very concerned at this point. Can you tell me what it may?

Bumps over the chin and mouth during bout of fever is a herpes labialis.
Local application of Benzocaine Ointment will be helpful.
It is self limiting and no cause of concern.
Take care
