Symptoms of aphthous ulcers include [[oral pain]], [[dysphagia]], and [[oral bumps]] that may have resolved spontaneously in the past.

*Many patients complain of previous episodes of [[aphthous ulcers]] that resolved spontaneously.

==Symptoms==
Aphthous ulcers often begin with a tingling or burning sensation at the site of the future mouth ulcer. In a few days, they often progress to form a red spot or bump, followed by an open [[ulcer]].


The aphthous ulcer appears as a white or yellow oval with an inflamed red border. Sometimes a white circle or halo around the lesion can be observed.  The grey-, white-, or yellow-colored area within the red boundary is due to the formation of layers of [[fibrin]], a [[protein]] involved in the [[clot]]ting of bloodThe ulcer, which itself is often extremely painful, especially when agitated, may be accompanied by a painful swelling of the [[lymph node]]s below the jaw, which can be mistaken for [[toothache]].
===Common Symptoms===
The first [[symptom]] of an aphthous ulcer is usually a tingling or burning sensation that you feel before other symptoms develop. The following [[symptoms]] may then occur:
* Painful, red spot or bump that develops into an open [[ulcer]]
** Center is colored white or yellow
** Usually small (under 1 cm) but occasionally larger
** Single bump or group of bumps (crops)
* Sore may turn gray just before starting to heal
* [[Pain]] decreases in 7 to 10 days, with complete healing in 1 to 3 weeks.
*[[Pain]] is usually worsened with the ingestion of acid, salty or hot foods and beverages.
* Particularly large [[ulcers]] (greater than 1 cm in diameter) often take longer to heal (2 to 4 weeks). Occasionally, a severe occurrence may be accompanied by nonspecific [[symptoms]] of [[illness]], such as [[fever]].
