Pediatric stomatitis and its classification

Of all forms of stomatitis in children, fungal and viral , which is caused by a yeast-like fungus of the genus Candida and herpes simplex virus, is most common.

Candidiasis, fungal stomatitis ( otherwise called thrush) - , it often develops with a high temperature( sometimes it reaches 40 degrees) and with an increase in lymph nodes.The child becomes capricious and badly eats, sleepily restless, as the foci of inflammation in the tongue are very painful and cause the baby to feel burning, dry mouth.

Herpetic - it depends on the immune system, as children and adults have herpes and at this time the immune system comes into protection and on this depends on whether the herpetic infection will develop.

Aftoznyj - occurs when the stomach or stomach hurts, with allergies to berries, sweets, fruit.It also occurs when the oral cavity is injured.Treatment of such a disease is difficult, because it is impossible to determine the causative agent of the disease.

The danger of such a virus lies in the fact that it can not completely disappear, but can pass into a chronic disease that occurs with periods of remission by relapses.And therefore, at the first sign of herpes, it is urgent to take action.

Usually this happens in children from one to three years, because the antibodies received from the mother have already weakened, and their baby has not yet developed.

If a small child is naughty, refuses food, the temperature rises, and older children have pain in their mouths and when examined by the mouth mom, ulcers in the tongue are found - it is definitely stomatitis.

There is an interesting fact that stomatitis corresponds to a certain age of the child.But, of course, there are exceptions:

• From birth to three years of age, is candidal .
• From year to three years - herpetic .
• Children of school age most often suffer from of allergic stomatitis.
• The most common stomatitis in the language of a child is the bacterial .It occurs when a child can injure the oral cavity - violate the rules of personal hygiene( for example, do not brush your teeth), eat unwashed fruits, eat with dirty hands.

The reason for the appearance of stomatitis is that the baby's oral mucosa is so tender and thin that it easily traumatizes from any touch of foreign objects that the child is dragging into his mouth and the immune system has not yet fully formed.

Treatment of pediatric stomatitis

Treatment of pediatric stomatitis sharply differs from treatment in adults and has its own nuances.The child because of his age does not follow the hygiene rules of and does not realize all the consequences arising from all this.

All dentists come to a common opinion that the disease of pediatric stomatitis is due to the fact that the child has poorly developed immunity.In young children, it develops usually during teething.And this is not surprising, since the child at this time drags everything that comes to his eyes.And in older children, this disease occurs when the milk teeth change to permanent teeth.

In young children, the saliva contains very little lysozyme, which in adults acts as a barrier and protection.And if a child once became ill with stomatitis, then he does not have immunity to it, and if you do not carry out the appropriate treatment, then this disease can pass into a chronically-recurring form.Due to all these factors, the children's treatment is different from the adult.

Of all forms of stomatitis in children, fungal and viral, which is caused by yeast-like fungus of the genus Candida and herpes simplex virus, is most common.
