Suggest Treatment For Sore Palate After Tooth Extraction
i have an extremely sore palate at the roof of my mouth. IT IS AGGREVATED BY HOT & salty food. I've had two teeth extracted this week and also have a cold sore. I'm finding it difficult to eat as contact with the palate is painful. I've been told to use hot salty water to aid the healing process of my teeth but can't as this feels like rubbing salt into a wound. Can you help or advise please?

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
It could be due to reaction to antibiotics post extraction.You may apply mucogel to that region 3-4 times a day.Also take multivitamin for faster healing.
Visit your dentist if problem persists.
