It could be a normal apthous ulcer or a vitamin deficiency. It would be great if you could share some pictures for a better diagnosis.
Next Steps
Mouth ulcers generally heal by itself in a week or two. If it persists longer or is recurring, visit your nearest dentist for a detailed check-up.
Health Tips
Keep your baby hydrated. A lukewarm salt water rinse would help preventing secondary infections.
