Suggest Treatment For Soreness In Gum And Burning Sensation In Cheeks

I have been experiencing tongue discomfort. I can eat and swallow with no problems. However, my gums have been sore and there has been a burning sensation in my cheeks and there is a white (pimple) like bump on the left side of my tongue, My dentist and an MD have done visual inspections and both have said that everything looks fine (no discoloration or lesions). However, I have noticed a small bump in the roof of my mouth. Could I have an infection? There is no foul taste in my mouth. I've been cleaning with warm salt water.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain burning sensation inside mouth along with small ulcer over the side of tongue and bump over roof of mouth can be Apthous ulcers and burning sensation can be due to Apthous stomatitis..
It can occur due to a number of causes like deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, stress, dry mouth, acid reflux, physical trauma, oral infections like thrush..
I would suggest you to start gargling with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine to relieve burning and pain..
You can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
You can take multivitamin supplements..
You can suck ice and gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water.
Chew sugarfree chewing gum as it will help in stimulating saliva flow..
In case of no relied in 15 days consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
