When I was younger..about ten years old I had the Hand, foot and mouth disease.. which is characterized by blisters on the hand, feet, and mouth. Blisters can be seen inside of the mouth including cheeks, tongue and gums.

I am now a 21 year old woman. Ever since then..when I was 10, I constantly get horrible mouth sores..to the point where it hurts to eat or talk..and I get these things called tonsil stones on the back of my tonsil's/throat. The sores are horrible. Canker sores. My friend in my photography class suggested canker tops..which you hold on top of the sores and they stick to cover the sore from getting contact from anything to relieve pain. They were kind of gross though and didn't dissolve in a day..took more like 2 or 3 days.

Right now I have a horrible tonsil stone. This is gross just warning...but I get them and usually they last for a week and I cough them off. But I've been getting them a lot. I have one right now..the largest one I've ever had..and my throat is so swollen and in pain. I don't know what to do. My girlfriend advised me to get a special mouthwash and toothpaste by the brand "Therabreath" I've been using it a few days and it hasn't been helping.

Does anyone have remedies to PREVENT sores/tonsil stones...AND to help relieve one of the following if you have them? It'd be appreciated because I don't know how much longer I can deal with this pain inside my mouth. It hurts so bad!
