A. Your 5-year-5-month-old daughter has had a mouth wound for 3 days and loss of appetite. This could be due to: Possible Causes: 1️⃣ Mouth Ulcers (Canker Sores) – Due to vitamin deficiencies, stress, or infections. 2️⃣ Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) – If she also has rashes on hands/feet along with mouth sores. 3️⃣ Oral Thrush (Fungal Infection) – White patches inside the mouth. 4️⃣ Viral or Bacterial Infection – Fever, swollen gums, or pain while eating. 5️⃣ Vitamin Deficiency (Iron, B12, Zinc) – Can cause frequent mouth ulcers. What You Can Do at Home: ✔ Give Cold or Soft Foods – Curd, banana, smoothies, khichdi, dal rice. ✔ Apply Honey or Ghee – Natural healing agents for ulcers. ✔ Rinse Mouth with Salt Water – Helps with healing (if she can gargle). ✔ Give Coconut Water – Hydrating and soothing. ✔ Avoid Spicy or Citrus Foods – They can irritate the wound. When to See a Doctor? ⚠ If ulcers last more than a week. ⚠ If she has fever, swollen gums, or body rashes. ⚠ If she refuses to eat or drink at all. Would you like suggestions for vitamin-rich foods to prevent this in the future? Let me know!
