What Causes Severe Pain On The Roof Of Mouth After Vomiting?
I was drinking a lot of hard bar liquor, and felt really sick and hungover and was puking all of the alcohol out and felt so sick I put my hands down my throat and next day my throat was severely in pain could hardly swallow and roof of my mouth has a sharp pain when I put pressure on it and now has been going on for three days I am scared I'm going to die , is it because of puking about the sharp pain on top of my mouth when I put pressure on it ?? I don't know what to do!!
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that sharp pain on putting pressure over the roof of the mouth after vigorous vomiting post being over-drunk can be due to injury to the mucosa of the roof of mouth cause due to physical trauma caused due to reflux of the stomach contents.. Also there has been chemical injury caused by acid that can also reflux along with food.. I would suggest you to take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and also gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine.. Take a soft diet and avoid spicy foods.. Suck ice pips.. In case if you do not find improvement in a week consult an Oral Physician or an ENT and get evaluated..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
