I have had frequent canker sores for years now. They always vary in size and location from tongue (only side or bottom never top of tongue), to inner cheek, to above the Uvula, etc (only on the inside). I have tried everything from multivitamins even to change of diet and oral hygiene. Nothing seems to work.
Canker sores will appear and then heal after 1-2 weeks then another one surfaces right after that and continues in this pattern.
However, last year I noticed an unusual pattern. For some odd reason, whenever I was sick with a cold or flu-like symptoms, the canker sores would go away. Once I felt better and recovered from the cold, the canker sores return (keep in mind I DID NOT take any anti-biotic medication I only took OTC symptom relievers).
Is this an indication of something can anybody determine why this is?
or can anyone else determine causes for canker sores?
