What Do Sores On The Roof Of The Mouth Indicate?

The roof of my mouth and throat, to the voice box, are very dry and sore. They have been this way for a number of months (6+). I recently had a CT, with contrast, of the area and it didn't show anything. Doctors have examined my throat and the CT but can't see anything. Everything was clear, unremarkable, with no mass. The impression was there was "No dominant enhancing masses, enlarged lymph nodes or abscess." What should I do next?

Hello,

As per your query, you have symptoms of sores on the roof of the mouth which is mainly due to excessive production of acid and it could be recurrent Apthous stomatitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Avoid large meal. You should take small but frequent meals. Avoid hot, sharp spicy foods. Take antacids such as omeprazole after meals.

If symptoms keep on persisting, visit gastroenterologist/oral physician once for evaluation and start treatment as per diagnosis. Your symptoms will resolve.

You should gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine. Take diet rich in soft, plain and fiber rich food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
