Suggest Treatment For Small Red Patch On The Mouth

I had a bad reaction to a personal lubricant that got into my mouth. It's been a few days, and now I have a smooth red patch on the roof of my mouth, as well as some irritation on my lips. I don't have any swelling, although I did the first days. That same day, I also happened to burn the inside of my mouth with a hot drink. What do you think it is, and what should I do? Is there anything I could take?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain you have met First degree chemical as well as thermal burns in your mouth due to which you are having a red patch as well as irritation on the lips.You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated.
In case of First degree burns you can apply Oralone dental paste over the red lesion [Triamcenolone acetonide O.1% oral paste] and over the irritated part of lips as it help in reduce inflammation, gargle with numbing mouthwashes,suck on ice pops and gargle with warm saline water.
You can apply Hexigel [Chlorohexidine] for preventing infection..
If there is pain your physician can prescribe you to take Ibuprofen..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
