I have a 3 year old with a sore in his mouth. It is between his upper lip and his gums at the very top. It looks like a white circle and it has a red streak coming down to his teeth.
No. Although cold sores and canker sores are often confused with each other, they are not the same. Cold sores, also called fever blisters or herpes simplex type 1, are groups of painful, fluid-filled blisters.Unlike canker sores, cold sores are caused by a virus and are extremely contagious.Also, cold sores typically appear outside the mouth -- usually under the nose, around the lips, or under the chin -- while canker sores occur inside the mouth.ou may have a canker sore if you have: 1  A painful sore or sores inside your mouth -- on the tongue, on the soft palate (the back portion of the roof of your mouth), or inside your cheeks.
