Thanks girls. I'm going to get it checked out tomorrow because it hasn't been this bad before. But yes, super painful especially as it's in a place where food and water hit it. Even swallowing hurts ?

Thanks Katie, I will keep an eye on it but they always pop up with stress, I've just had a really stressful two months and things have settled down now so it's all catching up on me. Will keep that in mind though ?

For me, frequent mouth ulcers and/or lots at once was a symptom of what the doctor said was glandular fever. It was horrible. I now think it may have actually been CMV as my blood tests show that I've had it and the symptoms are similar to glandular fever. Keep an eye on it, but if you think it is necessary it can't hurt to ask for a blood test.

That's so weird ms mum. I was just saying to hubby I think my iron is low. I keep seeing stars and so tired and vague. Like walking into a room and forgetting what I'm doing there. Perhaps there could be a correlation. Thanks! This will push me to get tested.

Sorry to hijack two blessings :)

Oh no! I had this when I was run down at uni. Use to get mouth ulcers all the time and once had one at the back of my throat that the stupid dr said was a cold sore. Told her I'd never had a cold sore in my life and to swab it. It was a mouth ulcer. It was so horribly painful. Turned out not long later I found out my iron levels were very low. Once I started iron supplements I've never had a mouth ulcer since. Only needed them for a couple of years. Now I cook with a cast iron pan which keeps my levels fine and also ds1's who had low iron.

That sounds horrific!

I gave one atm too! Not like that though. It's about half the size right at the bottom if my gum on the side.bthey are so painful hey. I'm just doing salt water. But maybe go to docs. Could B Getting infected

I had one at the back near my wisdom tooth, it got infected and my face was swollen, horrible ? nothing helped, I had antibiotics for the infection, painkillers and gargling salt water, had to get my wisdom tooth out as it kept rubbing on it and it wouldn't heal.

I haven't had them that big but when I get a sore throat I gargle with Listerine the green fresh burst one the other ones aren't as good

Vitamin b and magnesium help to reduce and heal them.

You can get ulcer tablets but it's cheaper to get the vitamins which do the same.

I get them at least every fortnight due to stress and autoimmune issues.

Salt water gargle and avoid sweet sugary stuff as it makes them worse or "feeds" them.

This is happening to me ATM, I went to the doctor today and she said its ulcers with white puss patches which means a bad infection, I am now on antibiotics and strong pain killers because it is absolutely the most painful sore throat ever ?

Ugh I know I should do the salt water but it's going to hurt so bad ??

Thank you ?

I have and it's horrible :-( Try throat gargles, you can get them from the chemist. Gargling with salt water can help too, along with pain killers. Otherwise you just have to ride it out. Hope you're feeling better soon!
