10 Crohn's Disease Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Mouth sores
Canker sores, or mouth sores, can occur in people suffering from Crohn’s. Since Crohn’s can affect any part of the digestive tract, this includes the mouth and everywhere in between the mouth and the rectum.
When Crohn’s affects the mouth and throat, aphthous ulcers - also known as canker sores - can emerge. These typically only arise when the disease is flaring up, and they can typically be found underneath the tongue or on the gums. These can be treated with topical oral painkillers like Orajel.
