Suggest Remedy For Painful Blisters In Mouth
Hi
I think I had hand foot and mouth from my sons nursery. My first symptoms were nearly a month ago but I'm still getting blisters on my mouth which are really sore. Can I use anything to help the pain, its difficult to talk sometimes (I'm breastfeeding)?
Thanks.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful blisters in mouth which can be because of many reasons like minor injury to mucosa due bite ,hard food ,acidic food or any dental appliances,poor oral hygiene and infection like thrush. In your case these probably is hand, foot and mouth infection. Usually they resolve by themselves in few days .I would suggest you to avoid spicy food and acidic drink. Do warm saline rinses. You should use antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine and brush your teeth twice a day. If the condition do not resolve in 4-5 days then consult dentist for proper examination and to rule out other conditions like canker sore .Doctor may perform scaling and prescribe oral antibiotics.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
