How Can Red Spots On The Roof Of The Mouth Be Treated?

HI, I recently went for my regular check up with my hygienist at my periodontist. While cleaning my teeth she noticed some red spots on the roof of my mouth. She took pictures of it on her phone and showed it to me. I was scared and thinking I may have some serious disease or cancer or something. I have been having problems with constant sinus infections , sinus headaches sore throats and drymouths especially when I wake up in the morning. I also have acid reflux. I have not have endoscopy and colonoscopy in about two to three years now. what should I do.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Red spots on roof of mouth can be due to inflammation and all the conditions that is sinus drainage, sore throat caused due to throat Infection and dry mouth all can cause the same..

So first of all do not worry about cancer as the red spots can be due to Infection and inflammation..

So first of all consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and take proper medication for acid reflux and antibiotics for sinus Infection..
Also start doing warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
Avoid spicy and irritant foods..
Drink plenty of warm water..

Hope this helps..

Regards .
