dd has sore corners at mouth

[sunglasses]

Since starting nursery last week she has developed red, chapped corners on both sides of her mouth. Never had it before. She also has had diarrohea and never had that before. Does anyone know what might cause it. Only thing I thought of is that they might be trying to feed her with a big spoon and it has rubbed the corners of her mouth- feel too embarrassed to ask. Only other thing is that it might be linked to teething but never heard this symptom mentioned before. anyone know?

I've had some sort of thing where the sides of my mouth kept splitting, is that what it sounds like? I got given gel called daktarin on perscription from the dentist for it.

I've jsut googled and it is related to thrush.

Does she suck her thumb? My ds2 often has red patches from rubbing his thumb at the sode ofhis mouth.

dd had this. also prescribed daktarin by GP. worked wonders.

Thanks for the suggestions for medication- bit worried it might be related to thrush- how would she have contracted that? she doesnt suck her thumb but she is chewing everything in sight!! will take her to GP.
