Canker sores: I understand your distress. Canker sores are mouth ulcers which can happen due to Mouth injury/irritation, deficiency of iron, folic acid, and other B vitamins, food irritation or stress. Antibacterial mouthwash like Listerine mouth wash ay help. Please see Oral surgeon because Canker sores are all over your mouth and tonsils for Diagnosis and Treatment.
