Question

An eight-week-old baby has had a high fever for three days. After the fever subsided, the entire mouth has oral ulcers, and everything is rotten. Now it’s been about five or six days, and the baby isn’t eating much. The gums are also bleeding. What’s going on, and what should be done?

Answer

Kangfu Xin Liquid can be used, applying it for three to five minutes each time, three to six times a day. Maintain a liquid and soft food diet. If it interferes with bowel movements, intravenous fluid therapy can be administered, along with cephalosporin or penicillin class medications, provided there is no allergy to cephalosporin or penicillin. Antiviral drugs should also be used to ensure adequate nutrient intake, which can promote the scabbing of the ulcers. Treatment can also be sought at a hospital under the assistance of a doctor.
