Using mouthwash after brushing teeth, blisters on tongue, enlarged taste buds. Can they be cankers?

hello and welcome,
this blisters are of aphthous ulcer type which can be caused either due to allergic content in mouthwash used or due to food ingested causing allergy like mixture,crab etc.
avoid harsh tongue cleaning.
take vitamin becosules to overcome vitamin b-12 deficiency.

hi,
sometimes certain patients react with blisters and discomfort after using strong mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine and alcohol. you may be sensitive to the current mouth wash you are using. stop its usage immediately as the alcohol in it will further create discomfot. you can revert to non alcoholic mouthwashes containing betadine. this will reduce pain soon and you will be comfortable. there is no need for any alarm as this problem will resolve with the change of mouthwash.

Regards

You might be having allergy from either mint or clorhexidine. So if u wish to do a mouth wash, try getting a mouthwash which is not a mint flavour, does not contain clorhexidine and is alcohol free. U'll feel much better after using that and will be free of bad breath. TC

hello
welcome to HCM
I want to ask you how do you use mouthwash?
Do you get it diluted with water or not.Some patients are allergic to chlorhexidine because of its content.If same is the case with you then quit it.
Switch on to non alcoholic mouth wash like betadine mouthwash or warm saline rinses.
That's not a major problem & will be resolved within few days.

Regards
Take care

Hello & welcome,

If you are getting these symptoms immediately after starting use of mouthwash, first priority is to stop the use of mouthwash immediately.

Mouthwashes generally contains alcohol along with chlorhexidine gluconate,( 0.20% w/v) & sodium fluoride 0.05% or zinc chloride 0.09%. You may be allergic or hyper-sensitive to any of these con-taints in the mouthwash.

Instead don't use any mouthwash unless this condition resolves completely. Visit your dentist if the condition get worse even after stopping the use of mouthwash.

You can ask your dentist to prescribe any other non-alcohol mouthwash (like wokadine or betadine) but use that for short period ,too.

Avoid intake of hot & spicy food stuff along with tea or coffee as all these can add to the feeling of being burnt.

Take care.
