Taking Cymbalta, Diflucan And Pamelor For Canker Sores And Burning Sensation In Mouth. Could It Be Gum Disease?

For months now I have had a salty tasting discharge coming out through my gums ALL DAY LONG! Then I get canker sores and my tongue burns and different types of sores on roof of mouth n inside bottom lip and tongue. I went twice to Care Station and they thought systemic yeast infection. I was on Diflucan first for 1 week about 3 months ago, then approx 1-1/2 months ago put on diflucan again for 2 more weeks. I also went to my dentist and he referred me to a periodontist & both confirmed that it is not gum disease or any bacterial infection. They don t know. I also have dry mouth. First for depression & chronic fatigue I was on two drying meds...Pamelor 25 mg and Cymbalta 30 mg. I have been off the Cymbalta in case that was causing the dryness, but nothing is getting better. I even tried natural things like Solaray a Yeast-Cleanse & Oil of Oregano. No help. I heard that a culture can be done or stool or blood sample, because if what s in my mouth isn t tested I won t respond to treatment. I read that diflucan won t cure certain kinds of yeast(if that s what it is!) can anyone tell me where to go next?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Canker sores occurs due to physical or chemical trauma.
Apply Dologel oral ointment topically over the affected area.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Take complete balanced diet and drink plenty of water.
Avoid anxiety and stress.
Avoid smoking and alcohol as this may worsen your condition.

Take care!
