What Causes Canker Sore With Swollen Legs?

Hello, this past year I've suddenly been having major health problems. A couple months ago, I had mono, found out I was allergic to penicillan because I had a severe allergic reaction that left me in the ER. Now for the past month or more my left foot had been swelling every other day or so. Then the swelling stopped but I'm having pain on the top of my foot. The dr did an US, lab work for auto immune diseases, even monitering my sodium intake, which wasn't abnormal anyway. I'm still having pain a couple days a week. Now all of a sudden I've been having chronic canker sores for the past three weeks. Mutltiple at a time and as soon as one is gone another will come, sometimes in the same place before. I take vit and a multi vitamin almost daily... what's happening to me?

Dentist 's  Response
Hello,
I have read your your inquiry and understand your concern. I can only suggest treatment of symptoms for your mouth ulcers since you are experiencing a wide range of systemic affects. I suspect you have activated a viral type of reaction in your mouth. You are correct to have balanced vitamins and proper nutrition. Avoid irritants such as smoking and alcohol. Make sure you have adequate vitamin B complex. Warm salt water rinse cleanses and soothes your gums. Maintain good day dental care and include brushing your tongue. See your dentist to rule out dental problems such as broken teeth, infections and periodontal conditions that need treatment. A dry mouth can promote oral infections including bacterial, fungal and viral in nature. Your dentist can examine your mouth and diagnosis any of theses conditions. Keep well hydrated. Rest and lessening stress can reduce chances of ulcers returning.
Take anti-inflammatory medicine such as Tylenol or Advil. Benadryl, an antihistamine may help discomfort reducing inflammation. Ask about a rinse combination of pain relief, anti-inflammatory and treatment medicine such as Nystatin for a fungal condition if you are having much discomfort.
Thank you got your inquiry. I hope my recommendations are helpful and you feel better soon.
