Answer to Question 1

C
Cool liquids are soothing and ice pops are usually well tolerated. A hot beverage can be irritating to mouth ulcers. Citrus products may be very painful to an ulcerated mouth.

Answer to Question 2

C
The child's mouth is inspected regularly for ulcers. At the first sign of ulceration, an antifungal drug is initiated. The teeth should be brushed with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Excessive force with brushing should be avoided because delicate tissue could be broken, causing infection or bleeding. Mouthwashes containing alcohol may be drying to oral mucosa, thus breaking down the protective barrier of the skin.
