mouth sores
6 Answers
Am I the only person who has to cope with sores on my tongue after I have the flu or other minor infection? Sometimes they are on my gums, there appears to be nothing to do about them other than suffer. Warm salt water does help a little. I guess they are viral cold sores. Sometimes they spread several places in my mouth. I guess things could be worse, like having a terminal disease. Thanks for listening to my bitching.

Thanks both for replying, I looked at the website; it was very interesting. I have never smoked but I have inhaled everyone else's smoke. I have tried nearly all of those remedies that are mentioned. I could see why someone would keep smoking if they didn't have to deal with sores. Their description of pain, misery, crabiness, I can relate to. I have had these since I was 7 y.o. As I mentioned they usually appear after flu, cold, sinus problems. I think they may be an autoimmune problem. I think I will go swish with salt water. I think dry mouth also exaberates the problem.
Hi Nohorn
Used to suffer with the same thing and used two methods : 1) ADCORTYL in Orabase (from the chemist, quite expensive but it works !) 2) In conjunction with number 1, a course of Vitamin B tablets for 3 to 6 months.(Also from chemist). I suffered badly for ages until I used the above - that was 15+ years ago, never looked back. Keep us posted.
Good luck
