Suggest Treatment For Sore Mouth, Lips And Gums

I have had a sore mouth, lips and gums for months. AT first he said it was thrush. He treated it and the white spots went away. I then started to have the inside become rough and become very painful. Now my gums hurt. I have been back to my doctor numerous times and he can't find a cure. It is very painful to brush my teath and eat. What is wrong with me?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain soreness in mouth, lips and gums is pointing towards a condition known as GINGIVOSTOMATITIS that causes inflammation of the mucous membranes inside the mouth..

It can be due to a number of conditions like Vitamin B 12 deficiency, yeast infection or thrush, dry mouth, Sjogren's syndrome, acid reflux etc..

You should consult an Oral Physician and get evatluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like mouth swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

As of now you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, gargle with Lidocaine gel, gargle with cold water to reduce inflammation, take vitamin B complex supplements daily, avoid spicy, hot and hard foods..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
