What Causes Brown Coating On The Palate In A Diabetic?

I have pre- diabetes diagnosed, recent ( April 28th) Moderate TBI with a TIA Stroke and three concussion intercerebral bleeds that resolved. Since the Stroke/ concussion - I have had a thick, dark-brown colored coating that forms on the roof of my mouth every time I sleep. Prior to the TBI, I did not have this occurrence, nor was my blood sugar slightly elevated in testing. Is the coating a side-effect of the TBI ? I lost a portion of my hearing and my entire sense of smell with the TBI.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of brown coating on the palate in a diabetic which seems to be due to poor and immunocompromised state of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to :

- Do warm saline gargles and gargle with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water will help..

- Take a soft diet and avoid spicy and hot food substances.

- Apply orabase gel on palate if it is hurting you.

- Take diet rich in vitamin B12 and multivitamins.

- Maintain basic oral hygiene.

- Take probiotics in diet and your symptoms will resolve in 7-10 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit oral physician once and get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
