OUCH.
Whenever I have a mouth ulcer, I find myself reminiscing back to the days that my mouth didn’t hurt. Those halcyon times when a cup of tea was comforting, not biting. When a packet of salt and vinegar crisps didn’t feel like a gruelling punishment.
The thing is, it’s not always clear where they came from. Like, yes, of course, if I burn my mouth I do expect an ulcer to form and biting my cheeks can’t lead to anything good but just waking up with an ulcer... Why?
Well, it turns out that the answer is not always simple.
