Mouth ulcers are caused by many disorders. These include canker sores, leukoplakia, gingivostomatitis, oral cancer, oral lichen planus, oral thrush, herpes simplex, and other disorders. The skin lesion of histoplasmosis may also appear as a mouth ulcer.

At one stage when I had glandular fever I had six ulcers on my mouth.\n\nI spoke to a naturopath on the phone who suggested a tablespoon of Manuka honey with hot water and lemon juice.\n\nI drank a mugful of this and by morning I had two tiny ulcers which cleared up in no time.\n\nManuka honey is like a natural antibiotic.

I've never had anything in my mouth like that, but my little brother, who is not so little anymore at 21 years old, had braces when he was 12-15.  Yes, he had them on for 3 years!  And the orthodontist tried to convince him to keep them on another year!  But, I digress, he had an extremely annoying thing that happened to him.  It was actually quite painful.  I'll start by saying, he was in karate, so he was always getting knocked in the face.  After about 6 months of having them, he started getting these awful canker sores.  Every time the braces cut his cheeks or if he got hit, he would get a new sore.  He eventually got a good medicine that took care of them, but for about 2 years, he always had sores all over the inside of his cheeks and the inside and outside of his lips.  And since the infections on his cheeks were touching his gums, he got them there too.  He couldn't stand having braces and sores.  When he was at home, he would keep peroxide soaked cotton balls in his cheeks. He looked really funny.  But I didn't make fun of him because I knew how bad just one small sore in your mouth can hurt.  I couldn't imagine having huge chronic canker sores all through my mouth for 2 years straight!

it's something you ate or just a minor infection of the mouth in italy we call it "afta".\n\nRinse your mouth with a mild mouthwash(avoid listerine is too strong) it will go away in a couple of days...avoid food spicy or hot and ketchup

Nothing is wrong with you. Most are caused by the herpes simplex virus, and 80% of the population has it. They come out when your immune system is compromised, like when you are sick or sleep deprived.\nUsing mouthwash will make them go away quicker. Also, getting a prescription, like Valtrex, prevents them and makes them go away quicker.

I know how bad you must be hurting- so found this info for you.... hope it helps/..\n\n\nCanker sores are shallow, painful sores in your mouth. They are usually red or may sometimes have a white coating over them. You might get them on the inside of your lips, the insides of your cheeks, the base of your gums or under your tongue. Canker sores are different from fever blisters, which usually are on the outside of your lips or the corners of your mouth.\n\nAnyone can get canker sores, but women people in their teens and 20s get them more often. Canker sores may run in families, but they aren't contagious. Doctors don't know what causes canker sores, but they may be triggered by stress, poor nutrition, food allergies and menstrual periods.\n\nCanker sores usually go away without any treatment. For pain relief, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other medicines, such as Anbesol, Oragel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing your teeth. You put these medicines right on the sore.\n\nYou can also mix equal amounts of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl Allergy liquid. After it's mixed, you can swish a teaspoonful in your mouth for about 1 minute and then spit it out. If you do this every 4 to 6 hours, your canker sores may hurt less.\n\nSome people think that sucking on zinc lozenges, taking vitamin C or vitamin B complex, using a sage-and-chamomile mouthwash or taking a lysine supplement helps their canker sores heal faster.

Good Luck, I've had bleeding ulcers and they are not good but they can be fixed. Your Dr. will tell you all this, Relax and Good Luck.

You def. need to brush and floss everyday.  Don't use any toothbrush except for a soft one, any other is too hard and can cause more damage then good.  Visit your dentist reg. for a check up and cleaning. You are also correct about the vitamins.  If you are low on vitamin C and vitamin B, this can give you a higher incidence of bleeding, sore gums.  Vitamin def. alone does not cause bleeding gums, it just makes it worse when you are not removing the plaque and bacteria every day by brushing and flossing.  So visit your dentist and get on a  healthier regime of brushing, flossing, and eating.  Take a multi-vitamin and eat lots of Leafy green vegetables high in iron.

If you still have your tonsils I think that is normal.  I used to get those all the time when I was little, along with a sore throat.  They are ulcers.  Gargle with peroxide, and they disappear in about a week.

Is it a canker sore?  If so, soak a q-tip in peroxide and put it directly on it for a few seconds.  It won't sting or anything (not like the medicines at the store do).  It should clear up quickly.  I get them often after eating fruits high in acid like pineapple or after drinking orange juice. Very annoying.\n\nTo keep them from coming back, I recommend using Listerine (or the generic equivalent) after you brush your teeth every day.  It helps to prevent them.

well, i read previously in an article that vitamin C is actually not useful when it comes to boosting immunity. in fact, the study on that article was done on a group of 400 people, 200 of whom eat 3-4 times as much as vitamin C as the other group and in the end, their immunity are the same. The group who took the 3-4 times vitamin C only can shorten the time they got sick like 1-2 days. So it really doesnt help. i cant rem when i saw this article, but it was in the Singapore major newspaper months back.\n\nLike yourself, i am very sick prone, i have 2-5 ulcers (canker sores) a month, fever every 2 months. Its almost like a routine to me. I am a non smoker, i dont drink alcohol, i dont club, no drugs. \n\nAnyhow recently i am getting so better (i hope it aint gonna go downhill again). Its my change of environment i guess. Much cleaner air now, i drink more than 2 litres of plain water everyday, do some long distance walking every week (40 to 60 mins fast walk each time), sleep 8 hours a day. Been doing this for 3 months already and i feel so much healthier, and not much problems i mention previously.\n\nHope i helped! :)

I don't want to alarm you but I had the same problem. My lips were unusually chapped and I kept using different lip medication.\n\nAfter a few months everything was healed except a slit on my upper lip. It looked like a bad paper cut. Finally I went to my doctor and he sent me to a dermatologist. They tested it and it was a pre cancer lesion. They said it would never have healed on it's own and continued to get worse.\n\nThey actually used a form of dry ice and zapped it. I had not realized what a pain it was to put up with it until it was gone. The only pain I had was for an instant when they zapped it. It was well worth it. It would have become cancer in short order if I hadn't finally taken care of it.\n\nIf yours has lasted that long it's time to get medical help.
