Canker sores?!
Question:
Canker sores?
um..i have these things in my mouth that are most likely canker sores [i have eliminated oral herpes and mono] The other day i ate like 13 jolly ranchers. but other than that nothing really signifigant that i have eaten..I have 10-14 of these in my mouth but ive only had one until today when they all devloped.....Should I go to the doctor or wait and see if they go away?
Answers:
I agree with the first guy, definitely go to a doc, having that many is not normal. You wouldn't happen to have braces would you? That's the only thing I can think of that might do that from the chafing if they're not suited for your mouth.
I used to get canker sores all the time, but at most I'd have 2 (but pretty bad ones) my dad found an oral gel that got rid of them and helped kill the pain (tasted horrible though, until it numbed my tongue anyways) but I'd be leery of using it on that many sores, especially since there may be something causing them, and if that's the case, the gel won't fix the problem and you'll just keep getting them.
So yes, go see a doctor.
