What Do Red Spots On The Roof Of The Mouth Indicate?

Hi, I was recently taking four thousand MG of vitamin c daily when my mouth broke out in canker sores. When I was looking at the canker sores, I noticed red spots on the roof of my mouth. I also swallowed something hot the other day that really hurt. The spots blanch slightly when I press on them. I can't tell if the are Petechiae or Purpura or something else. Should I be concerned? They haven't gone away yet and I found them on Sunday. Attached is a picture.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Red spots in roof of the mouth can be due to causes like burning with hot foods or fluids, chemicals, Allergic reaction, oral and throat Infection etc..

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

A clinical examination and if needed an oral swab culture can be done for confirmation..

For now do warm saline gargles and gargle with specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash..
You can also suck ice pops to reduce inflammation..
Take Vitamin B complex supplement..
Take soft and bland foods and avoid spicy food..
Drink plenty of water.

Hope this helps..

Regards.
