Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sores on the roof of the mouth which could be due to canker sore, viral infection, cold sore , inflammation of taste buds due to allergic reaction or irritation due to any acidic or spicy food. It could be due to acidic reflux.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult an oral pathologist for proper diagnosis and start treatment as per that. Apply dologel on these sores. Drink plenty of fluids. You should apply desi ghee on these ulcers as well. avoid hot , spicy and acidic food. Maintain oral hygiene. Do rinses with antiseptic mouthwash. Take multivitamin tablets as well. Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
