Sore In Mouth, Tongue, Lips, Taken Valtrex And Vitamin C Tablets
I use a mouth guard I purchased @ Target off and on. For the last two to three months I have been experiencing sores (like canker sores) in my mouth. Mainly on my tongue but lips feel like they have small sores under the lining of my skin. I have been to the doctor several times. They have prescribed Valtrex, Vitamin C tablets , taken blood to check my levels. Everything seems to check out fine. I stopped using the guard and then used it this past friday and my mouth has felt progressively worse since friday. Any suggestions???????????

Hello,
Discontinue using mouthguards if causing allergy.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Apply corticosteroids on the affected area.
Take plenty of fruits and fluids.
Avoid spicy foods.
Anxiety and stress has to be avoided.
Take vitamin becosules and iron supplements as well.
Take care.
