What is gingivostomatitis (GS)? GS is a condition that causes painful sores on the lips, tongue, gums, and inside the mouth. GS is caused by the herpes simplex virus. The virus spreads easily through saliva, shared toys, drink cups, or eating utensils. The mouth sores make swallowing painful, so your child may not want to eat or drink. The sores usually heal within 2 weeks.
The infectious organisms are typically transmitted either through airborne droplets released during coughing or sneezing, or indirectly via contact with infected surfaces (such as cups, tissue, or utensils). Tonsillitis caused by a virus is often contagious for about 7â10 days. Untreated bacterial tonsillitis may be contagious for about 2 weeks. However, people with bacterial tonsillitis treated with antibiotics generally become non-contagious 24 hours after initiating treatment.
