Suggest Treatment For Blisters And Canker Sores

HI, I've been getting red spots on my inner upper gums for the last few months. They come and go, they are not raised, are not canker sores or blisters, but they are bothersome, it's like a burn like sensation. It's like if I ate something acid and my gums sting a little. I thought that it could be burning mouth syndrome as I think I got this for a few weeks a few months ago, but these small red spots are really only localized on the upper inner gums. What could they be? I'm a woman in her 40's.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness can be a recurent herpetic ulcer or recurent apthous stomatitis. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while, If it is aphthous ulcer you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like lignocaine and analgesic like choline salicylate gel and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide.
If it is a herpetic ulcer, you have to take a course of antiviral drugs like acyclovir.
Do saline gargling. If the lesion does not heal in 5-7 days then consult a oral physician and get it examined.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
