Symptoms
Common Symptoms
The first symptom of an aphthous ulcer is usually a tingling or burning sensation that you feel before other symptoms develop. The following symptoms may then occur:
- Painful, red spot or bump that develops into an open ulcer
- Center is colored white or yellow
- Usually small (under 1 cm) but occasionally larger
- Single bump or group of bumps (crops)
- Sore may turn gray just before starting to heal
- Pain decreases in 7 to 10 days, with complete healing in 1 to 3 weeks.
- Particularly large ulcers (greater than 1 cm in diameter) often take longer to heal (2 to 4 weeks). Occasionally, a severe occurrence may be accompanied by nonspecific symptoms of illness, such as fever.
- Canker sores often return.
Less Common Symptoms
Less common symptoms of Aphthous ulcers include:
- Fever
- General discomfort or uneasiness (malaise)
- Swollen lymph nodes
