What Are Canker Sores?
Canker sores, called aphthous ulcers, typically found under the tongue may also appear in other parts of the mouth. Although their cause is unknown, some studies suggest that stress could be responsible for canker sores. The sores are usually red and swollen, and eating acidic fruits, vegetables and spicy foods may make them worse.
They're not contagious and typically clear up on their own. If they persist, it becomes hard to eat or drink. If a fever is present, make an appointment with a physician.
