Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Lip And Discolouration Of The Gums
Hello. My bottom lip is swollen, my cheeks, throat and roof of my mouth are yellow and have small red spots. I have also developed a few cancer sores in the back of my throat. My gums are pink and are visibly different coloured from the rest of my mouth. Thoughts?

Hello,
It could be an inflammatory swelling associated with multiple canker sores. As a first line management you can apply Triamcinolone ointment for symptomatic relief. If there is signs of infection, antibiotics may be needed. Consult a physician in case of persistent symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
