hello, my daughter is 10 and for several months has had small white bumps in the corner of her mouth, both sides.  We were at her peditrician yesterday and he said to have her dentist take a look, he didnt know what it could be.  Im hoping to try over the counter or home remedy before going to dentist, suggestions?
Hi. Thanks for the query.... As per your query white bumps at the corners of the mouth of your daughter can be most commonly due to Herpes Virus Infection causing cold sores, and it forms clusters of small fluid filled blisters. You should consult a Pediatric dentist known as Periodontist and get her evaluated and if he suspects cold sores he can confirm by getting investigations done like Viral culture and antigen antibody reaction. If herpes is confirmed antiviral oral and topical application like Acyclovir, val acyclovir, acyclovir can be advised to reduce the duration of the eruptions. If herpes is not ruled as the cause other causes like Fungal infection can be checked for. Hope this helps. Regards.
