Pregunta:

¿Las ampollas febriles y las úlceras bucales son lo mismo?

Respuesta:

No. las ampollas febriles o úlceras frías son causadas por el virus del herpes tipo 1, son muy contagiosas y a menudo recurren en el mismo lugar; mientras que las úlceras bucales sólo se presentan dentro de la boca, no son contagiosas y, algunas veces, se presentan como resultado de trauma (morderse por dentro del labio, quemarse con alimentos calientes), aunque también se pueden presentar de manera espontánea.
