my 10 yrs old son is having major issues with his mouth.he was being treated for what they thought was gingervitis but over christmas break it escalated and his lips cheeks and gums are so swollen and he constantly hurts.we are waiting for his labs to come back and they just did an oral biopsy on him.he also has cracks in the corners of his mouth  and none of the ointment is working..do you have any suggestions on what can be causing this and what i can do to help him..the kid already has a speech problem and now its 10x worse
Hi dear, I had gone through your question and understand your concern. You should be worried, but not too much. Cracks in the corners of the mouth and gingivitis are symptoms of iron deficient anemia. I suggest-check iron, haemoglobin, RBC to exclude anemia;-follow iron enriched diet:spinach, sesame seeds, pomegranates, dates, apple,etc.;-take multivitamins: Zirconia for 1 month;-it could be necessary to take iron syrup;-apply Pastoral. Hope I answered your question, if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. I am always happy to help
