Diet
Painful sores that appear on the roof of the mouth can be triggered by eating something that can irritate the mouth. Consuming different foods, especially those of a spicy or acidic nature, could result in painful sores on a person's hard palate.
Foods that include chillies, strawberries, oranges and chocolate could be the issue. Individuals who lack vitamins C, B12, folate and iron in their diets may also experience sores on the roofs of their mouths.4‘Oral Manifestations in Vitamin B12 Deficiency Patients with or without History of Gastrectomy.’ BMC Oral Health, BioMed Central, 27 May 2016www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4884371
