How Can Soreness In The Gums Be Treated?

I have been using Breo Inhaler and under neath my top lip is sore and broken out. My gums are sore and it burns when I brush my teeth. I have been using peroxide, baking soda & salt. I also got a prescription for Nystatin Oral Suspension. It went away for awhile. What is the best treatment for this? Thank You Pat

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, beep inhaler is a steroid based inhaler and it can cause soreness inside mouth which is commonly secondary to dry mouth..

People using steroid inhalers also have a tendency to develop fungal infections in mouth known as Oral Thrush that can further add to inflammation and soreness inside mouth..

So my suggestion is to continue an Oral Physician and check that is it just inflamed mucosa inside mouth or you have developed Oral Thrush..

Once it is confirmed then you can be treated accordingly..


If you have got oral thrush then antifungal medication will be advised like Nystatin mouthwash, oral intake of Fluconazole and Clotrimazole lozenges..
You can also be advised intake of plenty of Probiotics like Yogurt and garlic..
For soreness you can gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine to relieve discomfort especially during meals..

Also always gargle thorough after every time you use the inhaler..

Hope this information turns useful to you..

Regards.
Dr.Honey Arora.
