Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query painful, large, swollen pus sacs in mouth of your daughter is nothing but oral cysts which occurs because of accumulation of serum like fluid in these pouches which gets infected and become pus like.

You should visit dentist and get it checked if any risk factor associated with these cysts. Biopsy should be done after taking fluid from these pouches to find underlying pathology. Get X-rays done to know the size and extent of cystic lesion in mouth. Take painkiller like ibuprofen and drink a lot of water to prevent oral cavity from drying.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
