Recurring mouth sore?

Question

ive had recurring mouth sores lately and im not sure why..its nothing drastic, theyre pretty small its jus that its multiple of them and they seem to keep coming back every so often

Answer 1

First of all do not use neosporin on your cold sores if anything try abreva, campho-phenique or carmax. There are two types of herpes, herpes simplex 1 and Herpes simplex 2 . Herpes 1 is usually the one you think of when you think of oral sores. and Herpes 2 is what you think of with genital warts. Although this is not always totally true because it can essentially effect either part of the body. Having a cold sore is a form of herpes but dont worry this isnt necessarily transmitted from sexual activity you could have gotten it from anywhere and anyone you have ever shared saliva with. Even a fever blister in the mouth is a form of herpes. If it is becoming problematic talk to your doctor about starting either topical anti-viral treatment or oral such as acyclovir or valtrex. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Yes, the mouth sores could be Thrush. Oral thrush is an infection of yeast fungus, Candida albicans, in the mucous membranes of the mouth. Thrush presents as white, cream coloured, or yellow spots in the mouth. The spots are slightly raised. There is normally no pain in the area underneath the spots. If you scrape off these spots, they leave small wounds that bleed slightly. In adults, thrush can cause an uncomfortable burning sensation in the mouth and throat.

Those at risk are: newborn babies, denture users, adults with diabetes or other metabolic disturbance, people undergoing antibiotic or chemotherapy treatment, drug users. people with poor nutrition, people with an immune deficiency.

You may want to check with your healthcare provider to confirm whether it is indeed thrush or not.
