[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked up my non-professional theory and it seems sound. Your immune system may have been compromised by flu and it's caused canker sores. 
There are a number of things both serious and, usually not at all serious, that can cause canker sores.
Obviously, mouth sores on or near your lips indicates a viral infection like herpes simplex. 
I had a terrible terrible stomach bug one year and immediately moved to pneumonia afterward-- it's pretty awful some of the things that can happen when your immune system is down. [/quote]

That sounds like it. I also think I was too rough with my electric toothbrush right before the flu started. I had stomach cramps for a week before getting the flu. I still get cold chills. My mouth hurts like hell. Unfortunately we're in between insurance right now. I may go to cvs clinic if it gets really bad. I've got a few tiny white dots on my toungue and my gums are inflamed. I also have a white sore on the side of my lips. [/quote]
