Suggest Treatment For Yellow Discoloration On The Roof Of The Mouth
Hi doctor, the roof of my mouth appears to be yellow when I checked it recently. It as also been accompanied by swelling of one tonsil but I took an antibiotic which has made the tonsil return to its normal size. I used to smoke but I've quit for over six months. What could be the cause?
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..
A clinical examination and of needed a palatal swab culture can help in confirmation of the cause..
For now start gargling with specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash. Gargle with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide in water.. Use a soft tooth brush to clean your palate.. Maintain a good oral hygiene.. Eat hard foods and drink plenty of water..
Hope this helps..
Regards..

Hi.. Thanks for the query.. Yellow discolouration of roof of mouth is most commonly due to poor oral hygiene, oral and throat Infection, yeast overgrowth or Oral Thrush.. So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated.. A clinical examination and of needed a palatal swab culture can help in confirmation of the cause.. For now start gargling with specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash. Gargle with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide in water.. Use a soft tooth brush to clean your palate..
