[|Human|] Im 31 weighing 70kg. Ive never had a dental problem but my palate has become very sensitive. At first I thought it was the toothpaste I was using but I have long since discontinued using it. What causes a sensitive palate? Im concerned. Its been 3 months now.
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Palate sensitivity as you are having can be due to various reasons few being having scalding cup of coffee or some really hot and spicy food, which may burn the palate. Palate can also usually hurt when you have a bacterial or viral infection like throat, sinus infection, thrush or even the common cold. If you are under stress the formation of canker sores can also be a reason. I would advise to reduce the spicy food if you take any, and reduce the stress levels which can be increasing the problem. You can apply Mucosal/Denote for relief two to three times a day. Do warm saline gargling. Consult a GP and start with multivitamin. If still not better consult your dentist, and he will have a look at it and suggest the best possible treatment. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards. Any further queries are welcome.
