xXillusion Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hi everyone! You know when you get a cold sore on your lip? I never had one, but I do get these weird wounds in my mouth. I guess they're cold sored as well? Well anywats, I don't think it's from biting myself because they appear in ipossible to bite places. Now however I got one in my croocked (sp?) wisdom tooth but I don't remember biting myself either. I heard it occurs because of lack of vitamins, but which? I think I'm getting the more often now, maube because it's winter. I cannot even eat properly. It hurts so much! Especially now that it's right next to a tooth and when you move your jaw, it hurts! Thanks! Link to comment
Helpme86 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Are they little bumps that hurt really bad if you touch them? Are there white ones on your taste buds? 70-80% of the population have them, vitimin C chewable tablets work well. It is a form of herpes, but like I said, most people have them. No worries.

moe42 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 ok ill be the first to drop the bomb here. Another VERY common cause of those sores is herpies (spelling) if youve given oral or even had sex it could be that you should DEFINATLY go get checked before its to late Link to comment
Helpme86 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 There is no cure for them, if they are really bad, then go to a doctor. If you only have a few everyonce and a while, yea, no worries. They are just cold sore type things. OTC meds are availible to treat the ones on the lip. It is a simple form of the herpes virus, it can be spread to others. You do not need to have sex to get them.

ayekasong Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Also remember that chicken pox is a form of herpes. Seriously, it is, so I'm not sure if it can be transfered to your mouth if you ever had it. But yea, I would go talk to your doctor about this. Link to comment
Helpme86 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'm no doctor, and I'm no herpes expert at all. If you feel you need to go to the doctor, go. I'm not telling you don't, but you can just save some time and money and not go if you feel that it is not that bad. Vitimin C chewable pills work well. Ok, I'll fess up, I have them. I get like one every two months. You can be born with them, or just catch it anywhere. Its just a virus that never goes away. Its just an anoying little bump that hurts, I grabbed the Vit C and they were basically numb and they went away. BTW, they can occur in your mouth, and on your tongue also, not just the lip.

ayekasong Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Well regardless of whether or not you're sexually active, if they bother you that much, you should tell your doc, it probably isn't anything serious but I'll bet that your doctor would have better advice about what to do. But then again, I tell my doctor about pretty much anything that concerns me as I know next to nothing about how the human body functions. Link to comment
xXillusion Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Emotional, put a cream in my mouth? no thanks. I don't even have adoctor. What doctor? I'm not going to my stupid pediatrician now that I turned 18 Link to comment
Emotional Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 i thought u were talking about a cold sore sorry Hun lol.. sounds like a canker sore to me... Stay away from hot, spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore. Antibiotics and some oral bandages can reduce secondary infection. Link to comment
