From WikEM
- No specific therapy for most; self-limited
- NSAIDS and cool liquids for pain
- Encourage good hand hygiene to prevent spread
- Some recommend Magic Mouthwash/oral lidocaine if not tolerating PO intake, although evidence suggests no better than placebo[1]
- In infants, do NOT use oral lidocaine due to risk of lidocaine toxicity and FDA black box warning[2][3]
