Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query. Please mention if you have itching at just one specific point or it spreads over a larger area. If you have any other symptoms along with itching, please let me know.

For itching alone, I would suggest the following:

Please keep a very good oro dental hygiene. Please get a dental check up done to look for any sharp tooth margin. Also get your occlusion examined and get a mal occlusion or sharp tooth margin corrected.

Also please be careful while eating and do not talk while eating.

May use clotrimazole mouth paint if there are any white patches.

Feel free to ask another query.

Regards
