What Does A Painful Cyst On The Upper Frenulum Indicate?

I have recently developed a small whitish, almost cyst-like growth on my upper frenulum. It’s mildly painful if I touch it too much by accident such as touching my lip just under my nose, kissing, or when I touch it with my tongue too much. It appeared seemingly overnight about two days ago and I’m hoping there are home remedies.

Hello,

You have symptoms of swollen frenulum with white spots which could be due to herpes. It could also be due to a sore throat due to infection by streptococcus bacteria. I would like to suggest you take preventive measures such as:
-Do warm saline gargles on daily basis. You should gargle with antiseptic mouthwash.
-Avoid cold carbonated beverages.
-Take a combination of an antibiotic such as amoxicillin and anti-inflammatory drugs.
-Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined.
-You should go for blood and throat swab test. Once a proper diagnosis has been made to start treatment accordingly.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
