Sores on tongue, sides of mouth.

I forgot
To add I quit naselcort and have been off off it 10 days. My pollen is still high here.
But
No improvement

Consider consulting a dermatologist for a diagnostic opinion and treatment.

@suecutuli my mouth flares up like that too. What helps me is a mouth rinse for “Sore Mouth”. Right now I’m using the Oral-B one. It does help.
I have no idea what is going on, but I have had this for several years.

@suecutuli
P.S. Here are suggestions from AI for doctors to see with your condition. I hope you get some answers and relief soon.

“If you're experiencing pain from sores in your mouth and on your tongue, consider seeing one of the following types of doctors:
Primary Care Physician (PCP): Your first step can be to visit your PCP, who can evaluate your symptoms and provide initial treatment or referrals to specialists.
Dentist: A dentist can assess oral health issues, including sores in the mouth and on the tongue, and may provide treatment or recommend further evaluation.
Oral Medicine Specialist: These specialists focus specifically on diagnosing and treating diseases of the mouth, including sores and other oral conditions.
Otolaryngologist (ENT): An ear, nose, and throat doctor can evaluate oral and throat issues, especially if you have related symptoms.
Allergist: If you suspect that allergies may be contributing to your symptoms, an allergist can help identify triggers and provide management strategies.
Starting with your primary care physician or dentist is often the best approach, as they can guide you to the appropriate specialist based on your specific symptoms and medical history.”

sucuteli, I am so sorry you are being bothered with this. I would go to rheumatologist as sores in mouth are
a sign of Lupus and the fact your ANA was positive.

Also, if you suspect its the Nasacort, ask your doctor about going on another steroid nasal spray and see if the
sores clear up.

Praying for you. Blessings.....

I have oral lichen planus, which causes extremely painful sores on my tongue and inner cheeks. I know my offenders: raw walnuts, bananas, sugar and acidic foods. If I stay away from these, my sores go away. I have had only 2-3 sores in the past several years.

Sounds like oral lichen planus. It's awful!

I have oral Lichen Planus as well and I use Tom children strawberry, fluoride free Toothpaste. I’ve been using it for a few years and my mouth has improved greatly. There are no eggs in it because it does not foam which I am very thankful for.
I do think you need to see an allergy doctor for skin testing. I think you have more than one thing going on with you and it’s gonna be hard to find the right doctor. You need to go to a teaching hospital and Clinic. 20 years ago, I went to an allergy clinic only and I had great results. I worked with both of my doctors and things improve greatly.
Google clinics around you I think you’ll find someone and I wish you the very best.

Hi y’all! Try this…
Recipe for Mouth Sores:
I got this recipe from an Oncology RN and she says to “Swish & Gargle & Spit” with this rinse many times a day to keep mouth tissue healthy. (Particularly before chemo pill, before meals, and many times a day to give pain relief).
2Tablespoons table iodized salt
2Tablespoons baking soda
2Cups tap water
She suggested putting in empty water bottle and shake until all dissolved.
This solution keeps the PH level in mouth tissues at a healthy level and promotes healing.
I sure hope this elevates your mouth pain. Bette

Speckled Ana means normally lupus or RA. The sister disease to that is Sjogrens. It breaks out your mouth bad. I have it. It is another autoimmune disorder.
