Treat Symptoms and Prevent Dehydration
You can take steps to relieve symptoms and prevent dehydration while you or your child are sick.
Take over-the-counter medications to relieve fever and pain caused by mouth sores. These medications can include acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Never give aspirin to children.
Drink enough liquids. Mouth sores can make it painful to swallow, so your child may not want to drink much. Make sure they drink enough to stay hydrated. (taken from CDC.org)
