This has happened since I was little boy (I'm 14 now). I get canker sores ALL THE TIME. I get them in my cheeks, behind my lips, sometimes on my tongue, even on my GUMS (painful…). I get them NONSTOP too. This is no exaggeration. I get 1 or 2 at a time, and when they disappear, another pops up. IN THE SAME WEEK. They hurt so… so very bad. I cant talk or eat without biting them! They dont just happen when i bite my cheek or tongue (which they do), but they randomly pop up. I tried washing my mouth with salt and water. No. This doesnt work. My mom gets these and says to put salt directly on them with a wet finger. OUCH. I put up with the pain, but to no avail. This doesnt work either. I have orajel (an oral numbing gel) and it numbs it a little for when I attempt to eat. But it helps as much as ice can. I have a clean mouth, I brush/floss twice a day. Im vegan, but i got these before i was vegan too. I have no health problems except for acne I guess. Is there something I need to be eating? Is there something I need to STOP eating? I wont stop being vegan, so dont suggest that. I ordered some daily vitamins made for vegans (http://www.devanutrition.com/multivitamin.html ) and they should come soon, will those help? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Am I just an unlucky freak? My dad doesn't get these, but my mom does. Not nearly as often as me though. HELP ME. Suggestions? Treatments? Clever remarks? Thanks.
I thought only cold sores were herpes!
