Hello,
I can understand your concern. The white and red bumps can be an episode of major apthous ulcers, viral infection,
allergic reaction or
fungal infection as you can scrape the white layer off the bumps.
If it is a viral infection, you do not require any treatment and they will heal in 7-10 days on their own.
In case of apthous ulcers, you should apply local
Benzocaine gel (Mucopain) over the ulcers and should start B-Folcin once a day to overcome possible deficiency of
vitamin B12. You can also add
Rebagen thrice a day for a week to heal the ulcers faster.
I suggest that you also start antihistamine such as
Loratidine 10 mg (Lorfast) so that allergic reaction can be controlled.
If you develop a white curd like patch over the tongue and other areas of the mouth that you can scrape off leaving a red surface beneath, you should consult the
dentist again to look for possible fungal infection and carry out its treatment.
The ulcers should heal in 7-10 days. If they do not, then also I recommend that you see a dentist for the clinical examination of the oral cavity.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
