What To Do For The Spot Inside My Mouth?
I am a type 2 diabetic. I ve been keeping my blood sugars below 120 very consistently. However, I must ve eaten something today that sent my sugars soaring. They were at 256. As soon as I saw that, I didn t hesitate one second to do my workout, and adding extra workouts to the normal routine. In that one workout, I managed to get my sugars back down to 180. Then, I took my medicine with 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar in a 40 oz glass of water. Bottom line question: I plan to get my sugars back down within the next 24 hours. Is that a short enough time of high blood sugar to prevent any damage? Forgive me for apparently eating something bad... I try to honor the research and expertise of those in the medical field by taking my condition very seriously. Sincerely, KB

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query spot inside my mouth is due to surface ulceration by eating something hot which is leading to Apthous stomatitis. The symptoms can also occur due to side effects of certain medicine .
It could be due to nutritional deficiencies, stress, immune dysfunction or due to hormonal imbalances. I would suggest you to avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods . Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing twice daily.
Do Listerine mouthwash rinses once a day , suck on ice cube . Apply dologel and mucopian on these spots. Drink warm water sip by sip to have better relief. If condition still persists then consult oral pathologist for proper examination and treatment .
Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory medications for 10-15 days and your symptoms will resolve. Take probiotic food/drink like yogurt in your diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
