What are the potential causes and recommended next steps for a painful white lesion on the inner cheek that has persisted for ten days despite treatment with antiseptic mouthwash, topical soothing ointments, and oral probiotics?

Asked by Male, 37 · 1 month ago

Since this painful white lesion hasn't improved after ten days of over-the-counter care, it is best to have it evaluated by a doctor or dentist. It could be a stubborn aphthous ulcer (canker sore), a mild fungal infection like oral thrush, or irritation from an accidental bite. A professional can provide an accurate diagnosis and may prescribe targeted treatments, such as a prescription corticosteroid paste or an antifungal rinse, to help it heal quickly. In the meantime, please continue gentle oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods to prevent further irritation.
