How To Cure Large Canker Sores On Lower Lip And Soreness In Bottom Jaw?

On Saturday I woke up with a fever of 102 and an overall flu-like feeling. It lasted for 2 days and I was taking tylenol to bring my fever down. On Monday the fever was still there but it was accompanied by very swollen red gums and sore lymph nodes in my armpits. I started taking some leftover antibiotics that I had. I finally started getting some relief from the fever. Today I woke up with what i believe to be two large canker sores on my lower lip and a sore bottom jaw close to my chin.
I don't think its related...but I'm also a nursing mother and about 2 weeks ago I had sores appear on my nipples. My baby is 14 months old and I never had a problem before. But it could just be because she's teething.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

I can understand your predicament.The canker sores can be exaggerated by the fever.

I would advice you to apply mucopain/dentogel on the lesions two or three times daily till it heals .healing time will be around a week.
Over the counter antibiotics are not to be taken .Please consult your GP for the fever and flu symptoms and then take the antibiotics.

Avoid stress and have a nutritious diet .Multi-vitamin supplement can be taken.If still persistent,consult an oral surgeon.

Use an antiseptic mouth wash for a while and avoid spicy food.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
