Dr. Oscar Novick answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Viral infection: The ulcers in his mouth are viral in origin and would not have been affected by penicille. At this point i would give ice cream and popsicles and tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen for pain relief.

Dr Ferguson and another doctor agreed
