<s>[INST] I woke up Sunday morning with 2 small white spots down on my gums. Closer to my lip, not teeth . It is VERY painful. I am keeping it wet my licking it or drinking. It really hurts so bad. I have no insurance & broke & even called my dentist to see what an exam would cost. It hurts THAT bad. I did not bruch my teeth before bed Saturday night. I don t floss regularly, but I would think it would be closer to the teeth if it was because of that. [/INST] Hi, Thank you for the query. White painful spots on your gum represent authors ulcer. Usually ulcer in any area of the mouth is painful and as you said it's near to your lip there is possibility of more pain when you Chat Doctor.  Take multivitamin tablets, and you can apply denote local anesthetic before taking food which will reduce the pain. If the pain is unbearable then take an analgesic. Hope this would help you. Thank you </s>
