Symptoms of STOMATITIS
The specific types of symptoms that will occur from stomatitis will depend on their underlying cause. In general, stomatitis produces swelling, redness and tenderness (or pain) in the lining of the mouth (oral mucosa). The response may be localized or may be generalized. The swelling and redness of the oral mucosa may give rise to ulcers. Ulcerations may make it painful to eat or drink and lead to dehydration or malnutrition. Bleeding may occur in the mouth, especially from the ulcers. Fever, irritability and lack of appetite occurs.
