Go to see GP and find out what virus it is. it sounds like cold sore
=================================
What's the best way to treat cold sores?
Cold sores will go away without treatment, but there are some things you can do to help your child feel better in the meantime:
•To ease the pain, apply ice to the sore; or you can give your baby a dose of infant paracetamol suspension if he is older than 3 months.
•If your baby is fully breast fed, offer more frequent breast feeds. Toddlers can be offered cool drinks. You can use a syringe to give your baby drinks if it will help, squirting the syringe into the side of the mouth, not the back, as it can cause choking. Toddlers may prefer to drink using a straw. Doctors sometimes prescribe an anti-viral medicine when the symptoms are bad. It may not have much effect once the blisters and ulcers are well developed. However if you take it early in the infection it may reduce the duration of the pain and speed recovery a little.
•To keep your child from infecting other parts of his body or giving the virus to someone else, wash his hands regularly, use separate face washers and towels to the rest of the family, and try to keep him from picking at his sores.
•Try to keep your child from touching his eyes whenever he has a cold sore. This can cause ocular herpes, a serious eye infection. If your baby develops a painful sore on his eyelid, eye surface, or on the end of his nose, call your doctor straight away. Your child may need anti-viral drugs to keep the infection from scarring his cornea (CKS 2007).
You may be asked to keep your child away from childcare or preschool until the sore stops weeping, unless it can be covered (NHMRC 2005). The best thing you can do is keep his immune system strong by making sure he gets a healthy diet and plenty of sleep.
Try to protect your child from the sun as well, since exposure to sunlight can trigger an outbreak. If you go outside on a sunny day, cover him with clothes, sunscreen and apply a lip balm that also contains sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Try and avoid the sun between 10am and 3pm.
