Suggest Treatment For Canker Sore On The Cheek
I just noticed I have a canker sore on the inside of my cheek up close to my gum line with a black dot in it. I ve had a sore tongue, feeling like the same sensation as having canker sores along the sides/undersides but I have none visible...I notice that I have a little sore on the roof of my mouth and on the other side of my cheek, but the one up by the gum line has a little black dot in it. Its not painful at all, I didnt know I had it until I saw it. My throat was a bit sore a couple days ago, only for one evening, but since has been fine. No other symptoms.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of canker sore on the cheek which is due to bacterial infection of oral cavity. Visit dentist once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing twice a day. Apply ora gel on these sores. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Drink plenty of water. Apply ice on sores near cheek area to subside swelling and inflammation. you should apply a combination of steroid and numbing gel and take painkiller such as Tramadol. Your symptoms will resolve in one week. Apply mucopain or dologel. You should take vitamin B supplement with Antioxidants. You should eat yogurt in diet. Dab small amount of milk of magnesia. You should take Prednisone twice daily for 5 days along with Kenalog. You should avoid hot,spicy and acidic foods.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
