Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Mouth After Suffering From Seizures

I had two seizers on Wed. They couldn t find a reason but my mouth is horribly painful. I did bite my tongue but it s more than that, I feel like I have cancer cores on my tongue. The top and back of my throat is sore. I can t eat anything solid, only liquids and that even hurts. Emergency doc said to gargle salt water which doesn t help. If I eat anything I cannot move it from my teeth to my tongue to swallow. Just swallowing water hurts.

Hi,

As per your complain severe pain inside mouth along with painful eating and swallowing can be most probably be due to severe inflammation inside mouth leading to APTHOUS STOMATITIS and there can also be ulceration. It can be due to trauma to the mucosa inside mouth while can also be due to side effects of medicines, burning with hot foods or chemicals while can be due to many other causes. Consult an oral Physician and get evaluated.

For apthous stomatitis, you can do warm saline gargles. Gargles with 1:1 solution of Benadryl and milk of magnesia can help. Gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine for pain especially during eating. Take a Vitamin B complex tablet for a period of 15 days.

Avoid spicy, sour and acidic foods. In case if still the condition does not subside the physician can prescribe you to take a Steroid course as it it the ultimate treatment in case if nothing else works.

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

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
