Anybody know anything about stomatitis?

Question

My daugther is 18 mths old and began to run a fever today of 100.6- I brought her to her pediatrician and she was diagnosed with stomatitis. It's ulcer's in the back of her mouth/throat. By the time we were seen her fever was up to 101.2- (with tylenol) Anyway, I worked at her dr office for 5 years and know all of the doctors there. so she tells me that this is viral and she caught it from someone else. There is no treatment of course because it's viral. Can anybody tell me if they have experienced this their child and is this really the cause of the infection? And how long did it last? I'm really just not understanding and getting a whole lot out of the research I did. I'd appreciate all answers and if you've went through this before.. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I don't know about children, but my cat has stomatits really bad.  He has intermittent antibiotics and has to take a steriod every day, and it will probably eventually kill him according to the vet.  Obviously not the case for a child, but did she possible drink from a cat dish?  Good luck with getting it taken care of!
