Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
sometime hopefully this month i ll be getting a biopsy done to see if the black dots in my mouth are cancerous or not.. i read from people that these are super painful, but sadly the insurance company will only pay for the use of anesthetics (?) once a year.. is there a strong pain medicine i can take in place? if so, can they be crushed up or come in liquid form? i cannot swallow pills. i am an 18 years old female. sorry for being a burden but i am just scared..

Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Praveen G's Response
Hello, Welcome to HCM,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The ulcers could be recurrent aphthous ulcers or herpetic ulcers. Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out.
If it is recurrent aphthous ulcer then the kenacort works, if it doesnot work then you can take amlexanox paste.
If it is because of herpes viral infection the kenacort will not work, you have to just take symptomatic treatment like using topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel.
Do not take tension because tension aggravates both herpes and aphthous ulcers. Thank you.
