Likely Viral: It is common for children to have viral causes of mouth sores.  We are seeing this in Kentucky now. There are several viruses we see including "hand-foot-mouth" disease that causes mouth sores in children.  They are all self limited and require only fluids and comfort measures. Small sips work best.  Remember children on average get 8 to 10 viruses a year at her age!

Can you have : someone check you for lice? That would be my first concern. After that, you have to think dermatitis of some kind (Huge work up will require doctor visit). The nits are easier to spot than the bugs especially in dark hair and they are usually close to the scalp. You should invest in the combing gel because the glue they use to secure the nits is like concrete.
