Average Length Of Stay Cardiac ICU

Canker Sores And Swollen Glands

Canker sores are also known as aphthous ulcers or aphthous stomatitis. These are small sores that occur inside the mouth, cheek, lips, throat and tongue. However, canker sores should not be mistaken for cold sores, which are caused by herpes simplex virus and occur around the lip. Canker sores are not contagious and cannot be spread by kissing unlike cold sores.
