Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your concern . The symptoms you mention in query are clearly pointing towards a condition known as cancer sore . These occur due to various factors like hot and acidic food , any injury to mucosa , stress , hormonal changes or some medicines .

They usually go away within few days by their own.

I would suggest you to :-

- To continue doing warm saline and baking soda rinses .

- Apply orabase gel before having meal to reduce burning sensation.

- Do betadine rinses also for twice a day .

If condition doesn't subside in a weak then consult oral pathologist for proper diagnosis .

Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment or drug like sucralfate .

Also start taking Vitamin B complex supplement. Avoid drinking and smoking.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
