Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have an open sore on the roof of my mouth that is very painful. I think it was caused when I bought a milkshake a few days ago and tried to suck it through the straw but I can't remember if that's what caused it. At any rate, I am slightly worried about it because it hasnt gone away. It hasnt gotten any less painful but I think the spot may be getting smaller. Should I be worried?

Hai.it could be traumatic due to the use of straw as u mentioned, or due to some infection, or multivitamin deficiency. Please apply topical application gels containing anaesthetic &antibiotic component &apply for 2 to three times daily. U csn start with oral b complex tablets daily. If still it persists please visit a dentist to get it treated Dont worry, take care. Good luck.
