Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain Diprolene is a steroid based ointment and is used to treat certain inflammatory skin conditions..
If it is oral form of paste then it is fine although even if it is not and if it is not causing any irritation you need not to worry about it..

Yo can take a soft toothbrush and can gently clean the oral mucosas and tongue surface to remove the remaining diprolene if it is present..
It will gradually resolve in 3 to 4 days..
Do soda bicarb gargles.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
