I have pimples in my mouth and it hurts a lot?

I have red pimples that have suddenly appeared all over my mouth. Should I go see a doctor? It's swollen and it hurts. I wonder if it could be an allergic reaction?

Hello, thank you for your question!

Apart from the appearance of pimples, do you have other symptoms, such as skin irritation, swollen tongue, difficulty breathing? Is it painful? Does it itch?

Thanks in advance!

No, it doesn't itch, it's painful. Today it's much less bad. I would say that it was really last night the small buttons in the mouth. I only had them in my mouth. The only symptoms are small pimples

Thanks for the clarification

There's not much you can do at this point, just try to stay away from spicy, acidic, or potentially irritating foods for the next few days.

I would also encourage you to keep a diary where you can record what you have eaten, to better be able to determine if a specific food is the cause.

To improve comfort, I can suggest gargling your mouth with Maalox, available over the counter in different brands. It is a product for digestive problems, but it can be used as a "mouthwash" without swallowing it, to reduce irritation.

I hope I've been helpful and I'm available if you have any other questions!

Hello, I have been in real pain for a few days on the right side of my tongue. I have small transparent spots and this morning I had a small patch of blood. It's hard for me to lift my tongue. It started on Friday morning. I gargle my mouth twice a day. What can I do in the meantime? How long does it take to heal?

I also finished taking medication last night. I was on medication for 5 days. I also have a very sensitive mouth when I swallow my saliva

Hi, sorry to read about your troubles!

I invite you to contact your pharmacist to check the symptoms you have with the medication you are taking. He/she will be better able to advise you, or refer you to a doctor if deemed necessary.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
