sore on lip - i'm panicking

[danddd]

hi everyone,

 

we are 1 week post ivig, and dd9 woke up with a sore on the corner of her lip/mouth.

she has never had anything like it before, not even a fever blister.

she is currently on augmentin, and supplements recommended (folic acid, ester c, vitamin e, fish oil)

has anyone ever experienced this? could it be a virus from the ivig? (herpes?)

whenever things are starting get good........

 

thanks danddd

It is not herpes. Don't even worry about it. My son got it after his ivig too. It goes away in a couple days. Just give water. Ivig can cause chapped lips. That is all that it is. Chapped lips in the corner of the mouth.

danddd,

 

we suffered from chronic dry and chapped lips and mouth for a while and a dentist recommended Aquaphor healing ointment from Eucerin. It worked overnight the first night and has always done the trick since.
