Have Mouth Ulcers. Painful Reddish Tongue After Gargling With Bactidol. Treatment?
Hi,
I had mouth ulcers and impatiently tried to get rid of that as fast as I could. I gargled with Bactidol like a madman to get rid of the ulcers quickly. The ulcers have since vanished but I now face a more painful problem. It seems I must have gargled too much with Bactidol and now the tip of my tongue and the area where gum meets (inner) lip is extremely painful and red. Are these signs of chemical burn? Sure feels like a burn. It has been two days with this burning sensation.
The affected areas are only on the lower lip (as I only gargled profusely there were my ulcers were located (which was on my lower lip).
How long will it take until these excruciating pain of mine subsides? I find it extremely difficult to eat, it is very painful.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Recurrent oral ulcerations occur due to immunologic abnormalities, vitamin deficiency, long standing trauma, hormonal changes, allergic reactions.
I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the thorough checkup done.
Apply mucopain oral ointment topically over the affected area.
Diet suplementation with vitamin B12, folic acid, iron is necessary.
In severe conditions oral corticosteroids can be administered.
Avoid intake of hot and spicy foods.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Hope this helps out.
