What Causes Tiny Red Spots On The Inner Lip In Infants?
My baby is almost 7 months old, weighs 14lbs, and is a happy and healthy child. I noticed 2 days ago that he has a bunch of small red spots on the inside of his lower lip. These have never been there before and he seems to be sucking on his lips more. The only thing that I could think of would be because of his baby food. We are trying him out on new foods and I thought maybe he had an allergy to one of them. Can you please help me? Thank you so much!

Hello,
I can understand your concern. From the explanation of the problem, it seems that red spots inside the lower lip are due to allergic reaction to some food item that the child has come in contact with.
I would advise you to visit a dentist or pediatrician for the clinical examination of the bumps so diagnosis can be confirmed. Based on the diagnosis, antihistamines can be prescribed that can help in curing allergy. In addition, you can go for a blood test for allergy that can evaluate what substance your child is allergic to and that can be avoided in future.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish your son feels better soon.
