Hi there I bit the inside of my cheek about 3 weeks ago but it's not healing. I noticed that it has clear liquid coming from it now and again. I feel the side of my neck hurts now and I'm getting very paranoid that it maybe Cancer. I've read all sorts online regarding mouth problems and I feel so depressed. Please can you give me any reassurance it'll be highly appreciated with my heart and soul. Please help! I'm 37 year old female.
I can assure you a mouth ulcer which developed following trauma which fails to heal is unlikely to be a cancerous growth. But I'd like to know whether you have any chewing habits.
The difficulty in healing could be due to decreased oral hygiene or vitamin deficiencies.
As a treating physician I'd advice my patients to maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing the teeth more frequently, even after each meals; till the ulcer heals. I'd also advice you to take some over the counter Multivitamin Tablets. Triamcinolone ointment can also be tried to make the healing faster.
If still it fails to heal after a week consult a dental specialist and make sure no uneven teeth is repeatedly causing trauma.
Thank you. Please revert with further details.
