What Causes Canker Sore On The Gum?

My 13 month old son has what looks like a canker sore on his gum where I suspect a molar is trying to emerge. He seems to be in pain. He also won't eat anything except Cheerios and only wants to beast feed. I'm not sure what to do. I tried giving him Tylenol and ibruprofin. But I'm afraid it's an infection.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as child for that you can apply ointment Gum paint on painful gums .

On canker sore you can apply ointment Mucopain or dologel 2 - 3 times a day.

Consult dentist for oral examination if your problem continues after one week

Hope this will help you.
