Could be herpes simplex, or an allergic reaction to the Zantac. If
herpes, mom should cover the blisters if at all possible. Fortunately
the baby is old enough to not be as vulnerable to neurological
complications if it is a herpes virus. Another possibility is Coxackie
virus, spread from the baby's mouth.
She certainly should see a physician.
