Should I go to the doctor or will it heal on its own? Is there anything I can do to help?

Hello, my 10 month old daughter woke up this morning with several mouth ulcers (canker sores) on the inside of her lips and palate. I feel like she has bad breath too. She started daycare recently and had what looks like a cold (runny nose, congestion, cough...). These symptoms are still present and she has been losing her voice for 2 days. Her general condition is good, she does not have a fever and continues to eat well.

Hello,
Does this match what your child is presenting with?

It is similar, indeed.

Do you think this could be it?
His overall condition seems good, so it doesn't seem to be a concern,

I thought about it, but she doesn't have anything on her, hands, feet or buttocks. It's really just on the mouth.

Continue to offer her solid and liquid foods that she likes, avoiding anything acidic that may make her feel burned. If someone around is having cold sores and you think this may be it, it's not dangerous, but you may want to seek medical attention.
