Are these canker sores or something more serious?!


Question: Are these canker sores or something more serious!?
Hello,

About a week ago I had one canker sore on my bottom lip, then it was just about cleared up and I got another one right next to it!. I have had canker sores in the past and they've come and go with no problem!. But shortly after my second canker sore, my mouth was feeling sore in certain places!. It seems as though I have canker sores on the bottom of my front lip where my cheek meets my gums and on my top lip where my cheek meets my gums as well but on the sides!. Also, I believe I have them in the back of my mouth on both sides of my tongue!. I also feel something when I swallow on the right side!. Its been 4 days since they all really formed and they are very bothersome right now!. My tongue feels as it does if I had burned it on something!. It hurts towards the back not at the tip!. I have been putting Alum on the canker sores, I just started doing that today and they seem to have really come to a head and I can see all of them very clear now!. Are all of these really canker sores or is this something more serious!? Here are some pictures I took!.!.!.

Answers:
What you have looks like a classic thrush infection, which is a kind of yeast infection!. Babies get it quite often, but older people get it too!. Small amounts of the candida fungus (yeast) are present in the mouth, digestive tract, and skin of most healthy people and are normally kept iunder control by other bacteria and microorganisms in the body!. However, certain illnesses, stress, or medications can disturb the delicate balance, causing the fungus candida to grow out of control, causing thrush infection!. People sometimes get a thrush infection or a yeast infection after taking antibiotics, for example!.

that doesn't look like a normal canker sore
it looks like some sort of infection
have you had any sexual contact with anyone that has any kind of STI

that might be it, you should get it checked outWww@Answer-Health@Com

Ok I'm not a doctor or dentist, but I am in the skin care business and the mother of three!. I definitely do not think these are canker sores, nor is it any type of the herpes complex virus!. What I 'DO THINK' is something called thrush!. Babies can get this in there mouths from sleeping with bottles in their mouths all night!. It can also be caused by taking an anti biotic!. Its kinda like a yeast infection in your mouth that a family doc can take of easily!. Your pics of the tongue is what gives it away unless you use chewing tobacco i may have guessed mouth cancer!. But the white tongue in my opinion is Thrush!. Don't panic google it and see your Dr, for meds!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
