My Mother has cuts and sores all over the inside of her mouth.  She  has not sense of taste.  She tested with a 1 titer fo sjogres syndrome but her doctor says that she does not have Sjogrens yet has not other answer for her.  She has had this symptom for 5 months.  Any ideas?
Hi. Thanks for the query. Sores in mouth can be due to a number of causes like canker sores, cold sores caused by viral infection, allergic reaction etc. But they commonly heal within a period of 1-2 weeks. If the sores are present since 5 months and are not showing any signs of healing then you should immediately consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. A biopsy can be done for confirmation of the exact nature of lesions. For now take vitamin B complex and lysine supplements and do warm saline gargles. Gargle with soda bicarb solution in water. Avoid spicy and irritant foods. Hope this helps. Regards.
