What Causes Inflamed Papillae And White Spots Around Lips?
Hi, I have inflamed papillae, dry mouth, hot breath and tiny uclers in the mouth for a week. Also, small white spots around the lip area too. This with a feeling of having something stuck in my throat. Can you please give an indication of what this could be?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that the symptoms of inflamed Papillae, dry mouth, hot breath and tiny ulcers in mouth, white spots around the lips and feeling of something struck in throat can be due to causes like Viral infection causing herpetic blisters or cold sores.. Consult an Oral Physician or an Infectious Medicine Specialist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Oral and throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.. You can be advised Oral and topical antiviral medication like Acyclovir, Valacyclovir etc.. For Dry mouth chew sugar free chewing gum and drink plenty of water.. Do warm saline gargles. Avoid spicy foods..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
