Have acid reflux?: How long have you been getting them? Do the lumps hurt too? Do you have dry mouth from your medication? Could they be from allergies? Would recommend staying away from alcohol-based mouthwashes and use Biotene or Closys instead. Also, stay away from cinnamon-based foods and red dyes, which could cause allergic reactions. If no relief, see your dentist for a possible Rx for apthous ulcers.

Canker Sores: are the most common oral lesions. Individual ulcers typically last 1-2 weeks. The cause is not known. The aphthous ulcers are usually self-limiting. Try to keep adequate oral hygiene as possible. If concerned see your dentist for exam.
