My Dr prescribed Triamcinolone to put on the inside of my mouth?

The inside of my lower lip is inflamed and I think my tongue is also. If I have any food with any kind of spice it will burn like they are being lit with a lighter. Please let me know if I should use this inside my mouth?

See your oral doctor.
Triamcinolone is an anti inflammatory steroid, and works well for inflammations of the mouth, and can be rubbed on the inside of your mouth!

Hi,

There is an oropharyngeal triamcinilone which is safe for use in the mouth. I do not know if that is what you were prescribed. You should consult your pharmacist. It is best to avoid those spicy foods which irritate your mouth.
Hello and good afternoon,
The answer is yes. It is typically prescribed in combination with orabase. It is indicated for adjunctive treatment and for the temporary relief of symptoms associated with oral inflammatory lesions. If your symptoms remain persistent and don’t respond to this medication you may wish to also visit with your dentist.

You should follow your physician's recommendations. If you do not feel comfortable with your physician, you should find one you do.
