Canker sores are of the herpes virus. Likely this is such a sore, very
common in the mouth and not to be alarmed about. The mouth always has the
potential, and a bump with toothbrush or such can cause a sore. There are
numerous remedies. The one we use at our house is Llysine. I'm sure the
Net will reveal other effective ones.
