How can sores on the roof of the mouth be treated ?
Patient: The roof of my mouth is sore for last one week. I have been applyiing Daktrin oral gel withiout any relieve. I am male aged 52. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to HCM,  Thanks for writing to us. Cold Sores and Canker Sores are the most common causes of sores on roof of mouth. Warm salt water works well and is soothing. The ulcers normally take about 2 weeks to go away whether you use something or not to treat them. The roof of the mouth is involved in speaking, eating and just swallowing, so it can be very tender. There is a medicine called Debacterol that will take the sting out of it.  have a healthy and well balanced diet with special emphasis on citrus fruits and green vegetable to boost immunity and facilitate the process of healing. Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.
