A New Kind of Mouth Sore

We don't yet know what kind of sores these are on Katie's tongue and on the roof of her mouth, but they hurt and they developed very shortly after leaving the hospital so no doctors have seen them yet. It looks like Thrush to us, but since we have never encountered it before, we can't be sure. You can click each image for a larger, close-up version. I'll post an update when we find out what this is.

Mouth sores! Kids are vulnerable and they are the usual target of these kinds of mouth diseases. Well, I am not as clever as TV shows but I just heard it from a show lead and hosted by dentists. Myrtle Beach local cable network has a foreign channel about health and daily living. I enjoyed it, to be honest, to the point of I enjoy just staying at home in my house at Myrtle Beach. Dental topics are my favorite, because I am an aspiring dentist. By the way, you can gargle water with salt just for first aid treatment. But if nothing happens, go to your nearest dentist. That’s treatable, don’t worry.
