Canker sores: Canker sores normally occur on the tongue and the inside of the lips and cheek. Although not as common, they can also occur in the throat, an area that is extremely difficult to treat. Check with your dentist to make sure it is a canker sore, and for suggestions on how to treat the discomfort.
