Canker sores

DD1 has been complaining of pain in her mouth and I just looked and saw what seems to be canker sores on the roof of her mouth and below the tongue. They look exactly like the Google pics. Should I take her to a GP or wait and watch for them to heal?. She's been poorly on and off lately due to colds and cough. She's also been on antibiotics. She doesn't seems stressed as Dr.Google says canker sores develop when kids are stressed.

Any advice? Thanks.

Ulcers? You don't need to go to the go, get some bonjela

I'm sorry, I don't know what canker sores are. She could have mouth ulcers if she's been run down or potentially hand foot and mouth? My children had this and only one had sores on hands and feet, they were mainly in the mouth. Hope she gets better soon.

What's a canker sore? Sounds like mouth ulcers, just pick up some bonjela and see your gp if not cleared up in a few days

They are a bit hollow and white in colour with red lining.
