Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain the symptoms are pointing towards APTHOUS STOMATITIS or APTHOUS ULCERS which are at the initial stage of outbreak and the redness,tingling or burning sensation is initially seen before the blisters or ulcers are formed..
The Stress is one of the major cause of Apthous ulcers and it can be a cause in your wife's case too..
You need not to worry as it is a self resolving condition and milder cases does not need treatment as well as treating the underlying cause can at times cure the ulcers..
She should do warm saline gargles..
Soda bicarb dissolved in water can be used to gargle for relief..
Apply numbing gel like oragel over the sores as it will numb the sore area especially during meals..
Coat the red dots and the red sore area with a steroid oral paste like Kenalog in Orabase 0.1% for reducing inflammation..
A multivitamin tablet should be taken for 15 days..
If there is pain OTC anti-inflammatory painkiller like Advil or Motrin can be taken..

If the symptoms does not resolve in a week consult an oral physician..

Hope this information helps..

If you find the answer helpful please give me a Five Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation..
