Hi doctor,
I am a 30 year old male. I have a canker sore. I was wondering if it is common to have a swollen right lymph node with tenderness, body pain, and tiredness along with the sore. Please explain.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Cankersore also referred as aphthous ulcer, is a non-specific ulceration of non-keratinous mucous membrane of the mouth.
- The exact cause why these occur is not clear. Irritation of mucous membrane due to acidic foods and citrous foods could be a possibility.
- Pain is quite intense in the initial phase. Also, lymph node enlargement is observed (as in your case).
- To treat this avoid irritating foods like acidic and spicy foods.
- To help early healing, a course of Doxycycline 100 mg once a day for eight days may be taken. Also, I suggest Chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash twice a day.
- Folic acid supplements may be helpful for prevention. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take treatment with consent.
The Probable causes:
Spicy foods or other irritating foods.
Preventive measures:Avoid spicy foods.
Regarding follow up:For further information consult a general practitioner online.---> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/general-practitioner
