Found this info hope it helps.

Recurrent Mouth Ulcers

Recurrent ulcers can be more difficult to diagnose, treat and prevent. Referral to a specialist, a dentist or dermatologist, and perhaps a biopsy of an ulcer is sometimes necessary.
Trauma, like from a dental appliance, sharp tooth, habitual cheek biting, are a common cause of recurrent mouth ulcers. In this situation, you would expect the ulcers to keep coming back in the same area.


Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis is a common cause of recurrent mouth ulcers in children and adults. They are also called canker sores and although sometimes thought to be caused by smoking, food allergies, stress, vitamin deficiencies and local trauma, no specific trigger is found in most people.


Recurrent HSV infections. Although most people with recurrent herpes infections (herpes simplex labialis) get the ulcers on the outside of their lips (cold sores or fever blisters), some get them inside too.


Recurrent mouth ulcers can also accompany many systemic disorders, such as:
inflammatory bowel disease
cyclic neutropenia - recurrent, cyclical episodes of mouth ulcers, fever and neutropenia (low white blood counts)
gluten-sensitive enteropathy
periodic fever syndrome (PFAPA), in which children get episodes of fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis every 2-8 weeks.
vitamin deficiencies, including iron deficiency anemia, and folate, zinc, or vitamin B12 deficiency
Behcets syndrome, with aphthous stomatitis, recurrent genital ulcers, and eye lesions.
HIV

I don't know what they are looking for, but if she gets some Bonjela teething gel, then applies it to the ucers, they will healmuch faster. It stings really bad for a few seconds, then they don't hurt at all. I have had ulcers on and off forever and this stuff works amazingly.

Answer 3

check out www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/mouthulcers. Blood test is nothing to worry about she's probably lacking something in her diet also visit the dentist! Not nice I know but we all have to do it. Bonjela is good for relieving soreness (it's not just for babies teething)
