Dentist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your query. As you have already suggested that you have shown allergic reactions to Motrin in the past which is also a NSAID(Ibuprofin). The mouth ulceration in the floor of your mouth is most likely caused as an allergic reaction to the NSAID ointment you rubbed on your hand.
I would like you to visit your nearest Dentist to rule out any other cause. If you were my patient, I would have prescribed you with a Steriod Triamcilone Acetonoid cream 0.1% Mouth Ointment or any Topical Steriod If you were not allergic to steroids.

Moreover avoid spicy foods and Eat and drink after cooling the food. Rinse your mouth with Chlorhexidine mouth wash.

Thanks and Regards,
Dr Himayun Mir
