Multiple canker sores and white patches of loose skin inside of mouth?

Hello.





The other day I woke up with one side of my neck (right lymph node) hurting. Gradually it got a little painful to swallow. Later the next day I started suffering severe muscle aches (head to toe), and my lymph node had swollen and it was very painful. I noticed a canker sore on the inside of my cheek. Later that night, another one appeared on the inside of my upper lip. Througout the night, i developed a fever of 102 and 2 canker sores multiplied to 30 or more all over the inside of my lips and cheeks. I do have a nervous habit of biting my lips and cheeks to the point where they bleed, (had it for years) but never have I experienced so many sores at once. Along with the sores I have large areas of slightly raised white patches of skin. My lips are swollen, I cant eat, the muscles pains and fever went away, but pain is worse in my mouth.





anyone else experience something similar to multipe sores? Its not herpes (that occurs on outside of mouth) Could it be Lupus?





thanks

It could be "trench mouth", something I've heard of but know little about.





I got tested for lupus and other autoimmune diseases a few years ago - it's a blood test and takes a few days to get the results, at least.





But you need to see a regular doctor right away. Whatever this is, you need to start treating the symptoms. Now!
Reply:To me it does sound like Lupus, go to the doctor right away before more symptoms pop up! (HAIR loss, more fevers etc..)
Reply:I would see your doctor.
Reply:actually herpies can also occur inside mouths too so you might want to get it checked out
