Hi, I have been experiencing a sudden redness and discomfort mostly behind my lower lip, when I use mouth wash my mouth is burning with pain. I stared to notice very small red spots close to the gum line as well. I have some of the redness around upper front teeth but that seems to be more bareble and not as painful.The condition seems to get worst over the week, when simple brushing teeth its becoming painful as well. I tried to book to see dentist but with upcoming Christmas it got difficult to find a availability. They advice me to brush my teeth better and floss daily which I do anyway. Im just wandering if I can do anything else until I see dentist. I would really appreciate your professional advice, thank you very much and Merry Christmas.

Hi. Thanks for the query. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the symptoms of redness and burning inside mouth with red spots is pointing towards a condition known as Authors Dermatitis. It can be caused due to a number of reasons like Stress, Nutritional Deficiency [Iron, Vitamin B12 and Folic acid], hormonal changes, acid reflux, tongue trauma due to some sharp teeth or tongue biting habit, excessive intake of sour and citrus foods, uncontrolled diabetes and other immunocompromised conditions etc. Other common cause can be herpes virus infection. You need to consult an Oral Physician or a general dentist in this regard to get evaluated and treated. For authors dermatitis you can do warm saline garglesGargles with 1:1 solution of Ben Chat Doctor. . Apply numbing gel over the sore for relief from pain especially during eating. Take a multivitamin tablet for a period of 15 days. Avoid spicy, sour and acidic foods. For viral infection oral and topical anti-viral medication like Acyclovir, Val acyclovir etc. can help. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
