A member asked:
Good day, what is the cause of sores in the mouth in elderly people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aphthous ulcers: Usually these are aphthous ulcers which are harmless, yet annoying. I recommend saline gargles and they do sell over the counter ointments that can help with the pain.
