I've been having a lot of trouble with my mouth lately. My oral cavity feels like it's burning, and it's full of ulcers. There are also these white patches and bands inside my cheeks, and my mouth keeps watering heavily. It's impossible for me to eat anything spicy, even if it has zero chili. The worst part is the ulcers on my lipsthey just won't heal and seem to be spreading on both my upper and lower lips. I do chew tobacco, so I'm really worried if this might be something serious like carcinoma. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Oral cavity burning with ulcers, white patches, and bands inside the cheeks along with excessive mouth watering could be indicative of a severe condition. The unhealing ulcers on the lips, especially if growing daily, raise concerns for carcinoma due to tobacco chewing. To address the symptoms and potential underlying condition, I recommend seeking immediate medical attention for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. Treatment may include a combination of medications such as: - Topical corticosteroids like Triamcinolone dental paste for the ulcers - Antifungal medication like Nystatin oral suspension for white patches - Analgesics like Paracetamol for pain relief Additionally, it is crucial to stop tobacco use immediately to prevent further worsening of the condition and reduce the risk of carcinoma development.

I've been dealing with this ulcer on my tongue and the side of my tongue for a really long time now, and its becoming a constant issue. It's kind of worrying me because it never seems to go away. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different to get rid of it?
You need to get this checked..there might be a tooth with a sharp margin constantly coming on contact with the side of you tongue causing the ulcers..please do meet a dentist and an ENT specialist asap.

I've noticed this raised line that isn't painful, but it's kind of bothering me because it runs from my left wisdom tooth down to my lower lip. It's been there for about four months now. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?
painless raised line from the wisdom teeth to the lower lip can be caused by several factors. Since it's been present for 4 months, it's essential to consult a dentist or an oral surgeon to determine the cause. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Dental abscess_: A bacterial infection in the wisdom tooth or surrounding tissue. 2. _Dental cyst_: A fluid-filled sac that can form around the wisdom tooth. 3. _Mucous cyst_: A benign cyst that can form on the lower lip or in the mouth. 4. _Trauma_: Injury to the lip or mouth can cause a raised line. 5. _Oral cancer_: Although rare, it's essential to rule out oral cancer. _Next Steps_ 1. _Schedule a dental appointment_: Consult a dentist or an oral surgeon to examine the area and determine the cause. 2. _Imaging tests_: The dentist may recommend imaging tests like X-rays or a CT scan to evaluate the underlying tissue. 3. _Biopsy_: If the dentist suspects oral cancer, a biopsy may be necessary.
