Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
don't use saline water or hydrogen peroxide. Both will harm the burnt mucosa. Just use betadine gargles or plain water. apply candid mouth paint and glycerin to the oral mucosa. Take tablet vitamin c once daily. Take paracetamol for pain.
Take bland diet. Avoid spicy foods and aerated drinks.
All the medicines I have prescribed will be available only on prescription.
Take care
Thanks and regards
