Hello

Since these white patches on both sides of your cheeks and the sore at the base of your tongue have been present for about one year, they require an in-person examination by a dentist, oral medicine specialist, or ENT specialist. Persistent oral lesions are not typical mouth ulcers and should be evaluated to determine the cause.

Possible causes include chronic irritation from sharp teeth, oral lichen planus, chronic fungal infection (oral candidiasis), leukoplakia, or other oral mucosal conditions. The doctor may recommend an oral examination and, if needed, tests such as a fungal evaluation or biopsy if any lesion appears suspicious.

Until you are evaluated, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with a soft toothbrush, avoid tobacco, alcohol, and spicy foods if they worsen symptoms, and ensure any sharp or broken teeth are treated. If the lesion enlarges, becomes very painful, starts bleeding, or you develop difficulty swallowing or a neck swelling, seek medical attention promptly.

Mouth sores that have been present for a year are definitely something you should address with a healthcare professional if you haven’t already. There could be multiple reasons for these persistent sores, ranging from nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, or even chronic infections. Since the sores are on both sides and the tongue, it would be important to consider causes like lupus, lichen planus, or even certain types of oral cancers, especially if they haven’t healed within a reasonable time. Nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin B12, iron, or folic acid deficiencies can also cause similar symptoms, so assessing your diet and possibly doing some blood work to identify any deficiencies might be needed. Avoiding irritants like spicy or acidic foods, and using a saline rinse, can sometimes provide relief to mild sores. Good oral hygiene is essential, so continue brushing gently, maybe try a soft-bristle brush. Also, consider if there are any medications you’re taking that might contribute to dryness or irritation or any habits like smoking or alcohol that could be aggravating your symptoms. A biopsy or imaging might be recommended by a healthcare provider to rule out more serious conditions. Because this issue has persisted so long, it’s crucial to consult with a dentist or an oral medicine specialist who can provide a comprehensive examination and appropriate management tailored specifically to your condition.

नमस्ते, आपकी समस्या 1 साल से है, इसलिए इसकी जांच कराना बहुत जरूरी है। मुंह के दोनों गालों पर सफेद दाग और जीभ की जड़ में घाव सामान्य छाले नहीं लगते, खासकर जब इतने लंबे समय से बने हुए हों।

इसके संभावित कारण हो सकते हैं: • Leukoplakia (सफेद चकत्ते) • Oral lichen planus • दांत की तेज धार से लगातार रगड़ लगना • Vitamin B12, Iron या Folic acid की कमी • कम मामलों में, यह किसी गंभीर बीमारी का शुरुआती संकेत भी हो सकता है।

कृपया बताइए: • क्या आप तंबाकू, गुटखा, पान मसाला या सिगरेट का सेवन करते हैं? • क्या सफेद दाग खुरचने पर निकल जाते हैं? • क्या घाव में दर्द, खून या निगलने में तकलीफ होती है?

Prescription/Advice: • Tab B-Complex (Vitamin B12 युक्त) – 1 टैबलेट रोज़ 4 सप्ताह तक। • Chlorhexidine 0.2% mouthwash – 10-15 ml से 30 सेकंड तक कुल्ला करें, दिन में 2 बार, 7-10 दिन। • मसालेदार और बहुत गर्म भोजन से बचें। • तंबाकू, गुटखा, पान मसाला और धूम्रपान बिल्कुल बंद करें (यदि सेवन करते हों)। • 1 साल से घाव होने के कारण ENT Specialist या Oral Medicine/Oral Surgeon से जल्द जांच करवाएं। आवश्यकता पड़ने पर बायोप्सी की सलाह दी जा सकती है।

यदि संभव हो तो मुंह के अंदर सफेद दाग और जीभ के घाव की साफ फोटो अपलोड करें, इससे अधिक सटीक सलाह दी जा सकती है।

Feel free to reach out again.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain Family Medicine Specialist

Hello Aapke munh ke dono gaalon par safed daag, daant ke jabde par, aur zubaan ki jad par zakham ek saal se bane hue hain—yeh lamba samay ho gaya hai, isliye isko ignore nahi karna chahiye.

Munh me safed daag aur zakham ka ek saal tak rehna kuch conditions ki taraf ishara karta hai, jaise:

- Oral lichen planus - Leukoplakia (jo kabhi-kabhi cancer me badal sakta hai) - Chronic fungal infection - Vitamin ya iron deficiency - Repeated trauma (masalna, daant lagna, etc.)

Aapko turant ek dentist ya oral medicine specialist (mukh rog visheshagya) ko dikhana chahiye. Wo aapka munh dhang se dekh kar, zarurat pade toh biopsy ya kuch tests suggest karenge, taki sahi diagnosis ho sake.

Tab tak ke liye: - Masaledar, teekha, garam khana, aur tobacco se bach kar rahen. - Munh saaf rakhen, brush aur mouthwash ka istemal karen. - Agar dard ho toh thanda doodh ya dahi le sakte hain.

Yeh symptoms lamba samay se hain, isliye bina deri ke specialist ko dikhana zaroori hai.

Thank you
