Red dots on the palate of the mouth may first be caused by burns or contusions, in which case it should be recommended to apply medications that promote healing, such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel or topical solutions. In addition, mouthwash, such as compound chlorhexidine gargle, can be used as appropriate. Red dots on the palate of the mouth may also be caused by viral infections, which are precursors to clusters of small blisters. In this case, if blood tests show viral signs, antiviral treatment can be administered with drugs such as acyclovir, valacyclovir or virazole. In addition, if the child has red dots on the palate of the mouth and red dots on the palms of the hands and feet, this should be investigated for hand, foot and mouth disease, and then the appropriate antiviral treatment can be given.
