Yes, the skin on the corners of my moth is reddened. I do not believe I’ve had a fever or been exposed to very warm temperatures. I am definitely experiencing increased salivation. I feel like I’m drooling ( but it’s not obvious to others), and I wake up with dried saliva around my mouth. I’m eating normally and my bowels are functioning normally.
Brief Answer:
all needed guidelines provided in details.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the details.
Cheilosis is the more likely condition as per my last narration.
My guidelines at present
- Consume plenty of liquids.
- Apply honey over the corners of mouth which will work as excellent natural healer
against Blistex.
- Intake of multivitamin with folic acid content helps faster recovery.
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water 3 times a day.
Recommend to follow up about the progress after 2 days or early as per the requirement
Wish you great day.
Thank you.
