Ive been seeing my dentist about sores in my mouth. They started on my gums but they now also go down my throat.  He thinks I may have an autoimmune disease.  He sent me to the UW oral medicine clinic and they want me to have my eyes checked since I also have a history of blisters on the insides of my eyes.  I have a history of lots of sensitivities and allergies.  I think these are possibly the result of just another sensitivity that I havent yet figured out what it is.  I really dont want to spend hundreds of dollars and hours of time to do lots of tests to get zero answers.  Ive done that too many times before.  Eventually I always find out that its some food or substance that I dont tolerate.  Oral medicine said they want me to continue checking it out anyway.  I dont want to.  How important is it to have this checked out.
Hello, Well sores in mouth can be due to allergies and if they have extended down the throat then can be probably a severe reaction. Yes, it is correct that you should get evaluated and investigated further so that exact cause can be ruled out and treated appropriately to avoid further recurrences. Also, if you already know any allergens that can cause similar symptoms then avoid eating such foods and taking certain medications. You should also avoid spicy and acidic foods. Take vitamin B complex supplement daily. You can also gargle with 1:1 solution for Milk of Magnesia and Ben Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
