My one year old daughter is teething, over the weekend she had a fever and was in pain. We gave her tylenol for her fever and Oragel for her gums. My question is what can cause white bumps on her inner lips? We first observed them on Sunday and they were small, today the seem to have gotten larger.
Hello, I can understand your concern. Teething is a difficult time period for some kids if the gums are thick. However, it is not a phenomenon that should be normally associated with fever or while raised lesions on the inner lip. It seems that your daughter is suffering from viral infection like chickenpox or herpes. You should go to a pediatrician for physical examination of the kid and to check for lesions that may be present elsewhere on the body, but you may not have noticed yet. You can continue with the Tylenol for the supportive therapy in fever and pain, but it is necessary to visit a pediatrician. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your daughter feels better soon. Best,
