What Causes Mouth Ulcers?
hi there recently my husband I and developed multiple mouth ulcers inside our mouths as well as extreme fatigue. The ulcers have lasted for over a week and covered the whole tongue. I have also had terrible diarrhoea for the last 4 days. We have 3 young children and none of them seem to be showing any signs of having these aliments. I am wondering what it could be? We recently went camping (we live in NZ) and it seemed to develop on our return. Any information would be very helpful Thanks.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The ulcers can be because of the herpetic virus infection resulting in erpetic gingivostomatitis. Nothin to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take symptomatic treatment like topical anesthetic and analgesics like lignocaine and choline salicylate gel respectively. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
