What Causes Mucus Like Salivation And Soreness In The Inner Lips?

My mouth sluffs off mucus like stuff and my inner lips split and get very sore. I find Listerine mouthwash several times a day helps some and I use a mouth gel like substance to numb my lips and moth. Also my gums where my wisdom teeth used to be are very sore.

Hi,

It looks like you have inflammation inside mouth causing split of mucosa or ulceration along with excessive salivation. Soreness in gums where wisdom tooth erupts seems to be due to inflammation of the gum flap causing Pericoronitis secondary to Infection caused by food lodgement in that area. It can also cause inflammation inside mouth and excessive salivation.

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician or an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated. You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin and anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. Along with it gargling with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine can help. Take Vitamin B complex daily. Suck ice pops.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
