Symptoms of Mouth ulcer

Mouth ulcers may be round or oval with shallow, white, grey or yellow spots with an inflamed border. They cause discomfort or pain, particularly with certain foods. The most painful stage lasts for three or four days and then the symptoms settle until the ulcers heal, usually without scarring, in seven to ten days.

In severe attacks you may feel sick and be slightly fevered. You may also have painful, enlarged lymph glands around your jaw in the upper part of your neck.
