Suggest Remedy For Pain Inside The Mouth

Hi I am having some pain inside of my mouth, Its hard to eat and brush my teeth because of it. about 4 days ago I developed a cold sore on my lip and it seems like since then the inside of my mouth has been sore. I noticed today that I have these little lumps on my cheeks inside my mouth and on the roof if my mouth. Can cold sores be on the inside as well as on the lips or outside and what can I do with it? Thank you! Email Is YYYY@YYYY

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

So sorry to hear about your problem and will try me level best to resolve it to the best of my knowledge and understanding..

As per your complain it seems that you have got a viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus leading to sores inside and outside the mouth causing cold sores and condition is known as Viral Stomatitis..
Herpes infection can occur inside the mouth as well and seems to be a cause in your case..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and to give a proper treatment first of all confirmation of the cause of the problem is needed..
You can be advised investigations like oral swab culture, blood tests to check IgG and IgM antibodies, Polymerase chain reaction to confirm the cause..
In case if if is due to herpes then a combination of oral and topical antiviral medications like Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famicyclovir will be advised..
As it is a contagious infection it will be better to keep your personal belongings separate as well as avoid intimate contact with other individuals to prevent spread of infection..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
