Question

Asked for Male, 30 Years

I am having this white patch in mouth from last couple of weeks This irritates when i eat something hot as well. Cold or warm does not cause any problem. I was taking cerd medicine in last months due to acute indigestion. Not sure if it is linked with that but after that only started seeing this.

Hi, Did you start having these white patches after starting the medication. Are you still on the GERD medications? Please visit a dentist and get a proper clinical examination. Avoid Hot and Spicy food till it does not heal. There is nothing to worry. It will reduce in a couple of weeks.
