What Causes Sore Tongue And Throat And Sores On Lips?

My husband has the past 2 - 3 weeks suffered from a sore Tongue and mouth - the Tongue feels as if it has been badly burned. Since a week ago he also got 3 large cold sores on his lips and a very sore throught. On top of this he has got some really bad mood swings and seems a bit depressed... He is usually the most positive and happy spirit I know... What could it be? Thanks

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that your husband is suffering from Apthous Stomatitis leading to formation of Apthous ulcers and inflammation in throat can be inflammation extending from mouth to throat or can be due to throat infection..
It can occur due to a number of causes like stress which seems most probable in his case while other causes can be acid reflux, deficiency of vitamin B12 or iron, oral and throat infections,hormonal fluctuations etc..
You need to consult an Oral Physician and treatment of the underlying cause can resolve the problem..
As of now he can gargle with a numbing mouthwash, do warm saline gargles, take Ibuprofen for pain and inflammation,drink plenty of water, take a multivitamin tablet daily, avoid hot and spicy foods and suck on ice pops..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
