Take ibuprofen/nurofen its an anti inflammitory, its the swollen gum around the tooth thats causing pain. Hot salt water mouth rinse in the area will help also. (Boil water, add half teaspoon salt, wait to cool then swill hard in area) may be sore but will help, do this every couple of hours to keep area really clean. Salt is a natural antiseptic.\nWould get a dental appt just to check if they may need to be removed. Try this though it will help. xxx

it could just be an acid bump. you get them from eating too many acidic foods. have you eaten a lot of fruit lately? Or salt, that does it too. I feel for you, if it is an acid bump it usually hurts, especially when you bite it!

Try Blistex or some Bacitracin (antibiotic ointment).  Some people get sores or blisters and rash around the mouth from foods with lots of acid in them. AVOID LICKING YOUR LIPS!!!!!  Keep them clean and dry.  Too much oj or grapefruit juice irritates my mouth.

Canker sores tend to occur because of stress, illness, weakened immune system, injury caused by such things as hot food, rough brushing of teeth, or dentures.\n\nYou can use some essentials oils to soothe the pain and increase healing time such as Melissa, sandalwood, melaleuca quienquenervia.  Or you can mix sage withe either clove or lavender or sage with an essential oil blend produced by Young Living called thieves.\n\nGolden seal root powder taken internally can also help as well as an immune system supportive supplement called ImmuPro also produced by Young Living.\n\nIf you choose to try essential oils in a therapeutic context, please make sure they are of therapeutic-grade.

Sore throat caused by the streptococcus bacterium causes large, obvious sores on the tonsils and usually a fever. If you do not have a fever, you likely have a virus or a bacterium that does not need antibiotics to go away.

Are you in a country with good dental treatment?  ie not mexico.  You need to have this checked out.  Although it may not hurt it could be cancerous and the earlier you have this taken care of the better.  I wouldn't wait if I were you... You may need to have this biopsied and the lab work can take time...  Please see a Dr.  There are soo many different types of sores you can have in your mouth (not just erythoplakia) and some are very dangerous.  Good Luck

A canker sore is like a wound, so it can get infected. There are glands in your neck (lymph nodes) that release antibodies to fight infection. In my experience, it gets sore similar to  the feeling of a stiff neck or when I slept the wrong way, when it is overworked. Once for a mysterious infection, I had to take antibiotics for two weeks and my neck felt sore all the time. Maybe your lymph node is just overworked from fighting off an infection in your canker sore. Afterall, the mouth is a pretty nasty place. Ask your doctor or dentist to prescribe you something.

Eat fruits with lots of vitamin C...ie oranges, tangerines, etc.\n\nYes, I know this will make the pain temporarily worse...but the main reason for sores is the lack of vitamin C. If you consume plently of these fruits, you'll sores will hurt but they will heal faster.

Canker sores are usually caused my stress or by some kind of trauma in the area like when you accidently bite your cheek. Canker sores occur in the mouth and on the gums and sometimes tongue.\n\nMost people think canker sores are a type of herpes but thats wrong. Herpes are sores that occur outside of the mouth like on and around the lips. These are contagious while canker sores are not.\n\nIf you have a canker sore just rine your mouth out with warm salt water or listerine. Then it will go away in a few days.

It might just be a canker sore. If you aren't in pain I wouldn't really worry about it, but if you are really concerned, then see your doctor.
