Sever pain in mouth
I am experiencing severe pain and swelling in marked area in my mouth for the past 2 days. It started after I consumed betel leaf with lime (chuna) and with no tobacco . Since then, the area has become very sensitive and painful, and I’m finding it difficult to open my mouth fully .
have taken the following steps so far:
• Started using Rexidin M Forte gel, applying it 2–3 times a day
Kindly advise if this could be due to a chemical burn, , or any other issue?

Hello sir, it's looking like an apthous ulcer.
Use that ointment. Take proper sleep. Don't take any stress. There are so many reasons for apthous ulcers like stress, vitamin deficiency, metabolism issues etc.
For proper evaluation visit the clinic.

Hi,
Looks like an ulcer. Continue the gel that you have started for 3 days. It will subside in a few days.
