Question 1

what causes mouth sores to reoccur?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That all really depends on the type of sore. Sores can occur for a variety of reasons, trauma, viral infection, autoimmune response, bacterial infection, chronic irritation, and so on. My best guess is that you are referring to canker sores. These are usually caused by reaction to some type of food or stress. They are autoimmune reactions and sometimes are severe enough to require meds.

Question 2

Question 3

Diagnosis needed: In order to even list the possible causes of "mouth sores" would require a list too large to even list on this site.

If you have or suffer from repeated multiple mouth sores, you need to consult a dentist  and\or physician when you have these sores for a personal clinical evaluation.
