Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that there is inflammation inside the mouth leading to burnt appearance of the inner part of lips and red blood streaks appearance of roof of the mouth and is indicating towards a condition known as Apthous Stomatitis..
It can be caused due to deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, stress, physical trauma to the tongue, allergies, acid reflux, side effects of medicines etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests can help in diagnosis..
Treatment of underlying cause will relieve the symptoms..
As of now you can start gargling with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine to relieve the symptoms.
You can also take a multivitamin tablet daily..
You can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Suck ice and do cool water rinses..
Avoid spicy food..
Do cool compresses over the lips..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
