I Am Freaking Out, Please Read Posted: 05-09-05 14:33pm
Yesterday I woke up with sores all over my
gums. The lymph nodes below my jaw were
also swollen. I went to doc today and
she said it's hand foot and mouth disease.
I looked it up on the internet and it
said usually only kids under 5 get this.
Also, I don't have spots on my hands or
feet. Please help!

Sounds like a job for your doc...Surely
your doc gave ya more advice than that?
No idea how it would be solved.
Speak with your gp again.

My friend has this from time to time. My
father is also a dentist. It could be a
case of oral herpes depending on where
these sores are in your mouth. Everyone
usually has the strain of oral herpes in
their body (ex. Cold sores) however, you
sound like your having an outbreak. Seek
doc. Advice.

About once a year I get sores around my
gums and sometimes it spreads to the roof
of my mouth and will last for couple
weeks.
Over the weekend, I took some of my
valtrex, that I use for cold sore
outbreaks and it's almost gone today.
Still a little sore around the tooth and
upper right side of my mouth, but much
better.
