Why does my baby have a fever and his mouth is blistering?

Babies have very limited resistance and will be attacked by various diseases during their growth process. A typical example is fever. Even when a baby has a fever, he or she may develop blisters on the mouth, which makes parents very worried and they don't know what is wrong with their children. So, what is going on when a baby has a fever and blisters on his mouth? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Symptoms: Patients will have herpes in their mouths when they have a fever. Some patients will develop herpes one day after the fever. The fever can usually reach 39℃ or 40℃.

Herpetic pharyngitis is a special type of upper respiratory tract infection. Since its initial symptoms are not much different from the common cold, it is easily misunderstood as a common cold and treatment is delayed. Many parents even mistake it for oral ulcers caused by their children's fever. Little do they know that once treatment is delayed, the virus will not be contained and will develop into hand, foot and mouth disease. "When a child has a fever, be sure to pay attention to see if there are bubbles in his mouth." Zhang Jiansheng said, especially when a child complains that his mouth hurts, parents should pay attention. If the child is temporarily unable to express himself, cries, refuses to eat, or drools, parents should also pay attention.

The virus that causes herpetic pharyngitis and hand, foot and mouth disease may be the same. The pathogenesis of the two diseases is similar, and they are different manifestations in different stages. The only difference is that patients with herpetic pharyngitis develop herpes in the mouth, while patients with hand, foot and mouth disease develop herpes in the mouth, hands, feet and buttocks. The high incidence of herpetic pharyngitis is related to temperature, and it is easily spread in hot and humid weather. The disease is at its peak in July and August every year. Judging from the current incidence rate, Wuhan has entered the peak period. Families with children under 5 years old should pay special attention.

The above is an introduction to why babies have bubbles at the mouth when they have a fever. I hope it will be helpful to parents. The reason why your child has a fever and blisters on his mouth may be because he suffers from herpetic pharyngitis. If the condition is uncertain, it is best not to use medication blindly. Go to the relevant hospital for examination and then use targeted medication for better treatment.
