Having multiple, highly painful mouth ulcers can be incredibly distressing, and seeing blood when you apply gel is understandably alarming. You should seek a professional medical evaluation from a doctor or dentist to accurately diagnose the cause of these multiple sores and ensure you receive the appropriate prescription treatment.
Why You Are Seeing Blood Stains
The skin lining the inside of your mouth (the mucosa) becomes very fragile, raw, and inflamed when an ulcer forms. When you press your finger against the ulcer to apply the Orasore gel, even slight friction can break open the delicate, healing surface and cause minor bleeding.
Immediate Action Plan & Self-Care
To manage the pain and protect your mouth while you wait to see a doctor, use these gentle strategies:
⢠Stop rubbing the ulcers: Switch from using your finger to a clean, soft cotton swab (Q-tip). Dab the gel on very gently without rubbing or pressing down.
⢠Use a soothing saltwater rinse: Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water. Swish it gently around your mouth and spit it out. This cleans the area, reduces inflammation, and will not cause friction.
⢠Adjust your diet immediately: Eat only soft, cool, and bland foods (like yogurt, boiled potatoes, or khichdi). Strictly avoid spicy, highly salty, hot, or acidic foods (like citrus or tomatoes), as these will cause intense burning and delay healing.
⢠Protect your mouth during hygiene: Use a very soft-bristled toothbrush, and avoid toothpastes containing Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which can irritate open sores.
Red Flags to Monitor
While many mouth ulcers are benign canker sores, multiple severe ulcers require careful attention. Please go to an urgent care clinic or see a doctor immediately if you experience:
⢠Difficulty swallowing fluids or inability to stay hydrated
⢠A high fever or swollen glands in your neck
⢠Bleeding that does not stop after a few minutes of gentle pressure
⢠Ulcers that spread rapidly or fail to heal after two weeks
