Question 1

I've been experiencing something strange in my throat where I can feel my uvula after waking up with a dry mouth. It's not painful, but it's really bothersome. I've never noticed my uvula like this before, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your uvula might be slightly swollen or dry, which can happen with a dry mouth. Try drinking water to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. If it continues to feel uncomfortable or bothersome, its a good idea to see a doctor to rule out any other causes.

Question 2

I'm having issues with my tongue  the skin is peeling, it's really painful, and I can't eat anything. Could you recommend any medicine for this? Do you think those Vitamin C chewable tablets would be helpful?

Accepted Answer

Could be due to a condition called oral mucositis. Vitamin C chewable tablets may not directly help with this issue. I recommend using a topical oral gel containing a local anesthetic like lidocaine to help with the pain and a mouthwash containing a mild antiseptic like chlorhexidine gluconate to prevent infection. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing a painful situation with your wisdom teeth, possibly leading to infection or irritation. I recommend rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater to soothe the pain, using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen, and applying a topical ointment for the canker sores. However, given the swelling, fever, and persistent pain, it's important to see a dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible to assess if theres an infection or need for extraction.
