Canker Sores and Herpes

Canker sores are not caused by herpes. Fever blisters, another common mouth ailment similar to canker sores, are caused by herpes. Fever blisters, also called cold sores, usually occur outside the mouth–on the lips, chin, cheeks or in the nostrils. When fever blisters do occur inside the mouth, it is usually on the gums or the roof of the mouth. Inside the mouth, fever blisters are smaller than canker sores, heal more quickly, and often begin as a blister. Canker sores commonly occur only in the mouth, and are often the result of poor dental hygiene and other mouth irritations, but not by herpes.

Canker sores have no link to herpes and there is no medication to treat canker sores. Cankers sores, unlike herpes, will usually go away on their own within one to three weeks. Canker sores are not contagious, but can cause a lot of pain when the person eats or drinks. Hard, crunchy food should be avoided by people with canker sores, since these foods can make the canker sores and pain associated with canker sores worse.
