Gingivostomatitis Diagnosis & Tests
An examination of the mouth shows small ulcers. These ulcers are similar to mouth ulcers caused by other conditions. An underlying infection may be suspected if you have a cough, fever, muscle aches, or other signs.
Normally, no special tests are required for the diagnosis of gingivostomatitis. However, the following tests may be done in some cases:
- A culture of material obtained from the surface of the sore may indicate a viral infection.
- A biopsy may occasionally be used to distinguish gingivostomatitis from other types of mouth ulcers.
