What Do Cuts On The Roof Of The Mouth Indicate?

I have what feels like cuts on the roof of my mouth. After taking a picture it looks more swollen. I was sucking on Luden cough drops Thursday/Friday for what I thought was a cold. Runny nose, cough, congestion. I took a picture of roof of mouth and it doesn't look like cuts or lesions. Any ideas or should I go to the doctor tomorrow.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Well, sucking too many cough drops can at times cause irritation of roof of mouth as well as tongue.
Also infection in throat can at times cause inflammation of the roof of the mouth that can inturn cause pain and burning sensation of the mouth roof.
Do not worry as it is not probably anything to worry about and will get better soon.
You can gargle with specialized mouthwash like Magic mouthwash to reduce inflammation and pain.
Also take a Vitamin B complex for a week.
Do warm saline gargles.
Suck ice pops or do cool water rinses.
Avoid spicy and irritant foods and prefer soft and bland meals.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
