Hi,

My girlfriend has got three ulcers on her tongue that are causing her a lot of pain, and today her inner cheeks have swollen up and gone red, also causing her pain.

Any ideas what this could be and how to treat it?

Thanks

I get those from time to time and they are said to be caused by acid reflux, food allergies, lactose intolerance, etc...I can't help you out with the whole cheek thing. You may want to ask a doctor.

I'm now have the same problem & am thinking it's something I ate.
A food allergy, but I have not eaten anything different ?
What about food that has been poisoned maybe by incorrect storage(at the store)?
