Bad breath can often be the first sign of a disease. But how do doctors define bad breath and what are the major causes of bad breath?...

For the past week or so I have gotten a small red bumpy looking thing inside my mouth by my tooth. it hurts to chew food on that side. I have been watching it everyday and it hasnt gotten bigger but it still hurts. I have looked stuff up about it but am not fining anything of use. Any ideas of what it could be or what I can do to cure it?

Sounds like a cold sore or fever blister.

* Small, painful, fluid-filled blisters on a raised, red area of your skin, typically around the mouth
* Pain or tingling, called the prodrome, often precedes the blisters by one to two days

Does that sound like it? You can check with your pharmacist for something to help the pain. I've had these I know they're no fun. I've used Abreva for it.

How long have you had it? If it's too painful, gets bigger or you just want to check in with your doctor that's not a bad idea either since we can't see it.
