What Causes Pain And Inflammation On Gums With White Sores On Upper Lip?
Hi. I have always practiced great oral hygiene and have never had any problems. Two days ago, my gums started becoming inflamed and very painfaul, with a small white sore on the inside of my upper lip. I've been gargling with a salt water solution since. Yesterday it spread throughout the majority of the inner and outer of my upper and lower gums. This morning what appears to be a gland on the left side of my throat below my jaw line is very tender and inflamed. I don't have a fever (98.1), in fact it's a little low as I think my thyroid has been acting up again and am going for blood work next week. Could this be related to my hypothyroid (it seems like it causes everything else in the world for people!)? Or something else. It keeps getting worse and it is just so painful that it actually hurts to talk. Please help!
Hi, with respect to your quert, it looks like desquamative lesion. Are you a smoker? if so plz stop it fir this kind of situations it is always better you visit your dentist coz u have mentioned within a day it started spreading. Hope this is useful. Sores could be the apthous ulcers. If you are under stress either due to work load or any other reasons also colud be the cause. I suggest you consult your dentist. Regards Dr.Ramesh
