Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have swelling and a burning sensation in the right back region of my mouth. It huts randomly or when I brush my teeth. There are white patches on it and a cut-like lesion on the side. It also produces a mucus-like substance that tastes awful. I tried the salt and water remedy, which provided temporary relief but caused significant discomfort. What could be the cause of these symptoms? Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
It appears that you have a traumatic injury in that area, likely caused by contact with a hard object or by the opposing tooth if it is misaligned (malocclusion). If it is due to the opposing tooth, I suggest you should consider having it adjusted slightly to prevent continuous injury and promote proper healing. The healing process is expected to take approximately seven days. In the meantime, I suggest you apply an anesthetic gel, such as lignocaine gel, to the affected area before eating or when experiencing excessive pain. I suggest you refrain from using saltwater gargles during this time and take folic acid tablets, typically prescribed in such conditions, to aid in healing.
I hope this helps.
Please revert in case of other queries.
Thank you.
