Are the sores yeast-related, or virus-related? Or are they because of

a food/supplement intolerance?

I use Motrin for my kids.

I get those sometimes, VERY NASTY stuff!

For me, it is a food or supplement intolerance. Does your daughter

use enzymes? If so, try adding Pepcid AC, that works for me most of

the time. Or you can try activated charcoal.

I have read a few messages where people say they get those because of

acid in foods.

I thought maybe it's yeast overgrowth, like

GSE is very acid, try removing that and see if it helps.

I had a bout of major itchy " blisters " on my hands last night, which

was because I ate a food I *knew* would cause me problems, but I have

never had that particular problem.

Drop the supplements, see if that helps.

Could possibly be the mouth only version of hand, foot & mouth

disease. My son had this when he was little. No other symptoms,

just refused to eat and was very irritable (understandably). I

don't think we treated it w/anything.

My grown children had something like this when they were small and I was told it

was a herpes type virus. It was really awful. The doctor gave me some kind of

liquid that coated the mouth and throat to sooth the pain.
