What is stomatitis?
Inflammation of the mouth surface causes ulcers. Various factors can cause this, such as vitamin deficiencies, medications, and autoimmunity (the body's immune system attacking itself). Often, no clear cause is found, and the ulcers heal on their own.
Symptoms of stomatitis
Spots in mouth
Mouth ulcer
Mouth pain
Burning sensation in mouth
Bad breath
Questions your doctor may ask to check for stomatitis
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose stomatitis
Do you have spots or boils in your mouth?
Do you have sores or erosions in your mouth?
Do you have pain inside your mouth?
Do you have burning pain inside of your mouth?
Do you feel that you have bad breath?
Treatment for stomatitis
Treatment depends on the cause. Supplements can help with vitamin deficiencies, while immune-suppressing drugs help with autoimmune conditions. Symptom relief is also possible with numbing gels and oral painkillers.
