Clearly pronounced mouth rot and its symptoms

Over time, the disease hardens.

Towards the climax, small white dots can be seen on the tongue. In this case these are the small warts of the tongue, which are highly inflamed.
The general condition deteriorates.
Headaches and tiredness occur and lead to children in particular sleeping a lot and talking little.
In most cases, a sudden fever also occurs suddenly. This fact is a reaction of the immune system to the inflammation and to the weakened body. The fever remains at a high temperature level for about 2-5 days.
In addition, the lymph nodes in the neck region may swell.
This is also part of the defense reaction, because the killed microorganisms are transported via the lymph and lymph nodes into the bloodstream. Especially in this phase one is very contagious. On the one hand, the pathogens can spread to other people, on the other hand, one is susceptible to other diseases.

If oral thrush is not treated in this phase, there is a risk of the viruses being carried over into the eye region.
In addition, this often leads to sore throats or respiratory diseases.
In order to escape the danger of dehydration or lack of food intake, one should eat cold, liquid beverages. For children, ice cream is always a good choice. It also cools the mouth and soothes inflammation and pain.

Healing phase and its symptoms

Typical for the healing phase is that all symptoms slowly ease. The immune system is on the upswing again. The general condition improves.

This means that the fever goes down and tiredness disappears. Little by little the appetite and the desire for more solid food returns. However, bad breath may still be strong at first.This is caused by the metabolic products during the decomposition of the pathogens, which smell sourly rotten.

A whitish coating forms on the blisters in the mouth. This is important for the healing of the oral mucosa. Bubbles outside the mouth, or torn corners of the mouth become encrusted and normal lip skin is formed again.
