Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
Thanks for your query . The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to various reasons . But in your case it seems to me that soreness of frnulum is due to
canker sore . Canker sore can occur due to any minor injury physically or chemically like acidic and spicy food . It can also occur due to
vitamin B12 deficiency .
I would suggest you to :-
- Do warm saline rinses several times a day .
- Avoid hot and spicy food sa well as nuts which can cause allergy sometimes .
- Start taking vitamin B12 for at least 10 days.
- Apply
anesthetic gel (lidocaine) to relieve the pain and discomfort.
Usually the condition will resolve it self in few days .
If it persist after a week then
consult dentist for proper diagnosis and to rule ou condition like mucocele and cold sores .
Doctor may perform various tests and prescribe antibiotics (
metronidazole) , anti inflammatory drugs or may perform minor surgery in case of mucocele .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
