I've got this painful sore on the roof of my mouth and it's making eating pretty difficult. It hurts whenever anything touches the sore. I've never dealt with this kind of sore before and I'm not sure what's causing it. There's a noticeable bright red spot in there. Can you tell me what this might be? What's going on here?

Question 3

I've been dealing with these ulcers on my tongue for about 10 days now. They're painful, and I've noticed some new smaller ones popping up. It's really uncomfortable. What could be causing this and how do I get some relief?

Accepted Answer

Low TSH (0.014) may indicate hyperthyroidism. Given your high HbA1c (8.5), consider:

- Thyroid medication adjustment (if applicable)
- Improving blood sugar control through diet, exercise, and medication
- Regular monitoring of TSH and HbA1c levels
- Consulting an endocrinologist for personalized guidance
- Avoiding excessive iodine intake
- Maintaining a healthy lifestyle

Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the best course of action.

I have a cavity in my molar and there's some skin growing over it. My dentist suggested surgery to remove the skin first and then treat the cavity. Is this the best approach or are there other options I should consider? I'm a bit nervous about the procedure.
