Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am getting canker sores for the past two months. I am attaching the picture. I do not have anything on the lips or any other place on my tongue. It presents on the edge and head of the tongue. Before a day of getting this, I was trying to look inside my mouth using a spoon. I used the spoon to push my tongue down. Can I have herpes or bacterial infection? Sometimes I have a dry throat.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As per the picture, (attachment removed to protect patient identity) you seem to have canker sores. You can have it due to ingestion of hot foods or tongue bite. I think that you do not have a fever and so I rule out herpes. Please mention whether you have any drug allergy or any other associated symptoms so that I can give you a correct diagnosis and I can suggest you a treatment.
