<human>: Hi I m Elaine, 63 years old I ve been wearing dentures about 10 yrs without success. I have always had problems with the inside of my mouth. As a child I could not even have bubble gum for the ulcers it would cause inside my mouth. So I have grown use to having Sore Mouth I have a huge or what feels like a huge place in the roof of my mouth. As you well know, any foreign object in your mouth feels lots larger than actual. I bought some mouth wash after salt water didn t help, Colgate Peroxyl Mouth sore Rinse, set my mouth a blaze! I continued to use it even up to yesterday, no pain no gain, I thought. This morning I wake up with a full blown sore mouth and a perfect out line of my dentures inside my mouth. My mouth looks like I have the Thrush. I haven t worn them in about 48 hrs. At this point I don t know what to do? Call my MD and ask for something for the thrush?
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Ulcers and sore mouth can be because of irritation by the denture, candida infections , use of certain medications, nutritional deficiencies. Oral thrush is due to candida infection in which there is pain and difficulty in swallowing, a feeling that the food get stuck in the throat and the mid-chest area and fever. Visit the dentist and get the checkup done. Microscopic examination will confirm the diagnosis. Maintain a good ORL hygiene. Take vitamin supplements. Stop medications causing allergy. Quit smoking habit , if presentRestrict fermented foods which encourage candida growth. Replace the denture if causing problem . Hope this helps out. Regards...
