Mouth sores in entire family?

I'd check your water too.

Did you ever figure out what this was? I'm intrigued as this exact same thing is happening to my family of 3 right now! We all developed awful mouth sores at the same time. It seemed to happen though right after we all got a short bout of food poisoning or salmonella from eggs but maybe that is a coincidence. But the sores are inside our cheek gums or near back molars, not anywhere else. Seems viral since we all got it. No fever. No sore throats. Crazy painful sores and fatigue from the pain. I just went to urgent care b/c the sore is a 10/10 pain and all they said was "probably viral." Not impressed with urgent care. LOL.

My daughyhad one bubble like sore on her upper gum. The dentist said just to rinse with salt water and it would go away. Said she may be run down and stressed, or fighting a bug. It went away after a couple days of rinsing with salt water. We also applied a turmeric paste.

This.
Also stop your kids from drinking directly off the half gallon beverages. One of them is doing that

Pray it’s not h pylori. The treatment for that is really really brutal given all the pills you take over ten days. Can’t believe the haven’t made a liquid form for this yet.

Op here. But I’ve heard it’s rare for adults to get HFM, and we ALL had HFM 4 months ago!!

I can’t imagine we all have HFM for a 2nd time in such a short time

I'm a teacher and nearly all of the teachers in pre-k through 3rd grade has had HFM sometime in their teaching career.

Just had covid. Had mouth sores, fatigue and a lot of gastro involvement. You probably had covid and just didn't time the test right. (Some folks are only testing + for a day or two.)

Maybe your DH gave you all some sort of std?

My son would get HFM as a baby/toddler quite a bit and pass it to me. I think we had it about 4 or so times.

What are you doing to build up your immunity? What is you diet like? We take vitamins and minerals and eat a lot of raw and whole foods. We rarely get sick.

Some people go have nightshade allergies . Not everyone.

NP, my DS and I are like this. We get canker sores when we are fighting off getting sick. It's the sign to start taking extra vitamin C and zinc.

I had HFM once when DS was in daycare, and it was the worst sore throat of my life. White sores all around the back of my throat. The canker sores are different - they tend to be on the insides of our cheeks or gums.

To the NP who revived the thread, I bet it's related to how your immune systems ramped up when you got food poisoning.
