Question

What are the causes of a child’s dry red mouth?

Answer

Mild ‘milk rash’ often heals without medication; for severe symptoms, anti-allergic drugs such as Fenragen or Pulingmin can be taken under the guidance of a specialist physician, along with vitamin C and calcium powder to reduce sensitivity. Locally, apply Qingdai powder or use a 1% diluted saltwater cloth for wet compress. If there is an infection, antibiotics should be used.
