What causes red patches on the roof of the mouth?

Question

I have two red patches on the roof of my mouth. They are sore and sting when I eat and drink. Any ideas as to the cause?

Answer 1

burnt your mouth by eating something too hot....

Answer 2

Yes it can happen especially if you have other allergies such as food allergies and you have eaten that sort of food because your body has become oversensitized by your seasonal allergies. Other food that may tear up the roof of your mouth is: cornmeal, cereals like Capn Crunch (But for some reason people still like it), foods that aren't battered but breaded (onion rings, fried shrimp, etc.) Also it could be irritated from sinuses draining while you sleep. Take some claritin ( I take it 2x a day for my awful triple whammy allergies )

Answer 3

sounds like you have thrush.
We all have yeast in our mouths but sometimes it gets out of control, usually if you've been ill and you get an infection. Eventually your tongue will turn white. Your doctor will give you pills or a mouthwash. Be sure to ask for the generic because that medicine is a small fortune.

Answer 4

Do you have your tongue pierced? that can cause it...Or you ate something that was too hot...or somthing that may have been too hard and bruised the roof of your mouth.

Answer 5

Sounds like a basic Herpes infection. Pretty normal. They'll go away in a week or so, but will hurt less in a few days.

Answer 6

It could be an ulcer of some sort check with your pharmacy and see if he recommends a med!!!

Answer 7

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ATE SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE MADE IT SORE. OR YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON. NOT SURE BUT I THINK I WOULD CALL THE DOCS OFFICE AND SEE WHAT THEY THINK..

Answer 8

It's deadly...you'll have to amputate
