mouth sore

Painful lip blister

A mouth sore is any painful lesion inside the mouth—on the gums, tongue, inner cheeks, or lips.

The term covers canker sores, cold sores, and irritations from biting or burns.

I can't eat anything spicy with this mouth sore.

Most heal on their own within a week or two.
