Suggest Treatment For Pain, Redness And Skin Irritated Burn Inside Mouth

4 instances of what can best be described as the pain, redness, and skin irritation of a chemical burn on the inside of my mouth--specifically inner lip, side of tongue, and skin of inner cheek. Over last 3 months, these 4 events don't seem to be connected to anything specific despite my best efforts. Areas become mildly bumpy, and especially sensitive to carbonation or the acids in juices.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms you are suffering from inflammation of the mucosal surfaces of mouth known as STOMATITIS and it can be due to certain common conditions like Nutritional deficiency of Iron, Vitamin B12 and folic acid, stress, allergic reaction to certain medication or foods, dry mouth, reduced immunity, oral infections like thrush, physical injury caused by denture in denture wearers etc.
Nothing to worry , consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and treatment of the underlying cause will resolve the symptoms..

As of now to relieve the symptoms you can gargle using a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine especially during meals to prevent discomfort.
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen.
Gargle with cold water and suck on ice pops as it help in reducing inflammation and relieve the redness and pain.
Avoid hot and spicy foods and other irritating foods and liquids.
Take a soft diet.
Drink plenty of water.
Chew sugarfree chewing gums as it helps in stimulating saliva flow.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
