What Could Cause Large Sore On The Roof Of The Mouth?

I am HCV positive but they aren't recommending TX until the newer treatment comes out in a few years. My question is I have a large sore on the roof of my mouth. This occured about four months ago. I was prescibed some antiseptic mouthwash and to rinse with Benedryl and Milk of Mag. mixed together - but why am I getting them. They are incredibly painful and I can not wear my denture. My throat is sore also....

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the soreness on the palate could be secondary to fungal infection like candidiasis or denture stomatitis. consult your oral physician and get it ruled out from other lesions like tooth infection. if it is candidal infection you can use topical candid mouth paint. maintain oral hygiene. do not use denture for a week. wear only when it is absolutely necessary. during night time it has to be removed. i hope y answer will help you. take care.
