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.
Typical Symptoms of Stomatitis
- A lump or bump in the mouth
- Mouth ulcers
- Diagnosed with Crohn's disease in the past
- Mouth is sensitive
- Symptoms started with mouth pain
- Burning sensation in mouth
- Pain in the mouth
- White spots in mouth or tongue
Diagnostic Questions for Stomatitis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you noticed a lump or bump in your mouth?
- Do you have any mouth ulcers?
- Have you been diagnosed with Crohn's disease?
- Does your mouth sting or feel strange when you eat?
- Was mouth pain your earliest symptom?
Treatment of 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.
