Hi,

You can stop taking the powder for a few days and watch for your symptoms.You might be allergic to any of the ingredients in the powder. Check for the ingredients in powder box for any known allergens.You could be allergic to even any of the preservatives and additives.Switch to other protein powder in case of doubt. Mouth ulcer gels can be used to reduce the pain.Drink plenty of fluids like fruit juices and tender coconut.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
