How To Heal A Blister In Mouth?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type Ive had a blister or abscess in my mouth for a month now and it doesn't seem to be getting better, i have tried salt and cotton balls hydrogen proxide. It feels like it may be getting bigger or filling up with fluid, feeling more tight in my lip. I was wondering if there was an over the counter cream I could buy to help the healing. I have been tempted to pop the blister but I am scared.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The possible cause of the swelling in the mouth could be secondary to tooth or gum infection. Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out. You can take a radiograph to rule out infection in the tooth. If there is infection in the tooth, infection, you can get the tooth treated with RCT or extraction. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
Do not use hydrogen peroxide or any other medication without prescription, it results in adverse effects.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi,
A little more information about the symptoms you experience along with it might have been helpful and whether it started after some lip trauma.
With the information i could gather, it could be an abscess or a mucocele ( a fluid filled cyst). In case if its an infection it should have healed by a month of trauma.
Either way, it seems it needs to be looked at by a surgeon. In the meantime, keep doing warm saline mouth rinses and apply a topical antibiotic gel two times a day (Hexigel-M).
Try to get it addressed at the earliest.
Regards.
