Suggest Remedies For Red Blotches In Mouth And Sore Throat

I have red splotches inside my mouth, a waxy greasy feeling in the roof of my mouth when I eat, can't really taste anything, and everything, including lips seem to be swollen. The feeling in my mouth is half numb, half raw, and my throat hurts around my uvula a bit. This just started yesterday afternoon and I have very good oral hygine

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms red blotches or patches in mouth along with swollen lip and the other features that you have described indicates allergic reaction which can be due to either any food or medication.

Nothing to worry take anti-allergic medicines like Cetrizine or fexofenadine [allegra].
For relieving pain and inflammation you can take anti-allergic medicine Ibuprofen.
Gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine.
Do warm saline gargles.
Suck on ice pops.
Avoid hot and spicy food.
Hopefully symptoms will subside in a week or even less but if the symptoms does not subside and symptoms become more severe consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
