Sore mouth syndrome

[Yerr]

My 83 yrs mother had a heart attack 2 years ago and ever since has been suffering from an extremely sore mouth that is relentless. She has been waiting 13 months for her referral, I am thinking it’s sore mouth syndrome. Does anybody have any advice please.

Hi,

I haven't come across the term sore mouth syndrome before. I'm in the UK.

I hope your mum has found something that helps her with the discomfort.

Do you think your mum has PA (Pernicious Anaemia) or B12 deficiency from another cause?

I have read that B12 deficiency can cause a variety of symptoms in the mouth.

Link to a thread I started about signs of B12 deficiency in the mouth.

A research article that mentions Burning Mouth Disorder and B12 deficiency

PAS (Pernicious Anaemia Society)

Based in Wales, UK.

There is a helpline number that PAS members can ring.

Can gave many causes. One is low folate

Another low b12

Thrush??

Please get her bloods checked.

Mu mum 92 had lots of mouth ulcers abd gum problems ( amongst other thing

Getting b12 injections taking a multivit has helped her .
