Sunday night, while I was asleep, I somehow cut what I think is my soft palate. It was bleeding but eventually stopped, but it still hurts there. I cant eat anything because if I try to, that area starts to burn. That part of my mouth feels rougher than the other areas, and I think the night it got cut, I could feel the membrane or something torn and felt it hanging there. It really hurts, and I can drink some things without as much pain, but Id rather be able to eat again instead of just drinking protein shakes. What should I do?
Hello there, Well the cause of the injury is not clear, but it will take time to heal. All you can do till then is application of oral local anesthetic gels on the affected area 10 to 15 mins before meals. Avoid hot and spicy food for a week. Wishing you quick recovery. Take care.
