I have pain in my mouth. There are lesions I think, white, near my gums. It looked like dots, but they have grown. What should I do?

Hello,

Since the spots have grown and are preventing you from eating, I strongly advise you to go see a doctor or a dentist so that you can be evaluated.

It could be mouth ulcers (you could be prescribed a numbing liquid such as Tantum or a cortisone ointment such as Oracort), but it could be thrush (a fungus in the mouth) which requires a prescription anti-fungal

There are also other conditions that only a doctor or dentist can differentiate, so as long as it's progressing and preventing you from eating, it's a red flag for referral.

In the meantime, drink plenty of water to keep you well hydrated and watch out for hard/crunchy foods and irritating foods, especially spicy and alcoholic ones.

Don't hesitate if you have any other questions,

Thank you and have a nice day,
