Suggest Treatment For Sores On Lip And Gums

Hi I've got what I believe is a mouth ulcer, two in fact.. one on the inner part of my lower lip and the other on my upper gum near just above my teeth.. I've had these for about three weeks. At first it started off with my bottom lip becoming extremely numb as if I was in the dentist. This numbness feeling made me notice the sores inside my mouth. Since I've notice the sores eating or biting down on tings have gotten painful. And ive also noticed that when I brush my gums bleed a lot. Don't know for sure if that would have anything to do with it. I got an image that isn't me but the picture looks exactly like the sores in my mouth, especially the one on the lower lip.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness in the lip and the gums can be a recurrent aphthous ulcer or a herpetic ulcers. Nothing to be panic, Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can use take topical anesthetic and analgesics like lignocaine and choline salicylate gel before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide after food. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
