Many possibilities: Herpes, cankers, strep throat, flu, allergies are just a few possible explanations. You must visit a doctor and be examined to get an answer to this one. Good luck.

I started with a cold sore and now have many more all over my mouth. I also have red bumps on the back of my tongue and throat. My gums are inflamed and bleed when I brush my teeth, and seem to be cut up. Is that a side effect of herpes too?
