Brief Answer:
Oral Candidiasis

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

An inflamed, red sore can be seen along with the diffuse whitish background lining the mucosa of the roof of the mouth.
Based on the images oral candidiasis is the most likely diagnosis.

Chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash along with clotrimazole 1% anti fungal mouth paint would help in faster resolution. Fluconazole oral medication can be added if the candida persists or there is any related immune suppression.

Let me know if you have any query

Wishing you best of health

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Diabetic or excess intake of sugar in diet ?

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

Please Clarify.

By sugar content do you mean your blood sugar levels ?

If so kindly state the exact levels and inform me if you are diabetic or not..

If by sugar content , you mean to say that you have been having increased sugar intake in diet then you can start limiting the intake and it wont be that big an issue.

Thanks
