What Causes Red Rashes On The Gums After Using A Mouth Wash?
on the inside of my gums near the molar teeth at the top, there is a slight rash that is making the gum turn white with red spots. I started using a mouth wash that had antiseptic for my sore throat as per my family doctor's prescription. I noticed this rash appearing yesterday. I have fillings in my teeth for almost 13 years in my molars but hasn't caused any issues in the past. I stopped using the mouth wash since my throat is better, and decided to give it a week before rushing to the doctor/dentist.
Red rash with blisters over the gums after using mouthwash can be most probably due to chemical all burns over the mucosa. I would suggest you to gargle with dilute solution of mouthwash. You should do warm saline gargle. Gargle with cool water to reduce inflammation.
You should take soft and bland diet to prevent irritation of gums. Chew a vitamin C pellet for a week. In case if it still doesn't improve consult an oral physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
