Accepted Answer

Question 2

if a blister/ulcer on floor of my mouth doesn't heal after few weeks, does that mean chances of oral cancer are very high?

Accepted Answer

No: Don't assume the worst right away. You're right that most oral sores seem to heal within a few weeks, but that's just a general guideline. Make sure you're not doing anything to aggravate healing like frequent rinsing with an alcohol based rinse. I would have the area checked out though to see if it warrants further investigation.

Question 3

m58, for couple of days i ate raw cabbage which caused my mouth to burn. now i see several ulcers on rear end of tongue and adjoining floor of mouth?

Accepted Answer

Allergy: It appears you are having an allergic reaction to the cabbage. I recommend you stop eating cabbage and see your doctor for an examination. She can prescribe a "magic mouthwash" concoction which will decrease the discomfort. She'll also examine you and make sure there isn't an infection or others problem going on. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Apthous ulcers: Apthous ulcers (or canker sores) are commonly triggered by high acid foods and mouth irritantants, but sometimes they seem to happen for no reason at all.

These ulcers are thought to be a type of abnormal immune reaction. If they occur frequently, see your doctor.
