A member asked:

My daughter always gets sores in her mouth. what causes this and how do i get rid of them and prevent them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aphthae: These are common and usually only a minor bother. A specific cause is rarely found.Try sucking on a clove if you need pain relief. Occassionally it hurts enough to warrent a medical investigation and prescription.
