Burn blisters or possible OB?

[Rmd9090]

A few days (Thursday or Friday) ago i think i may have burned the roof of my mouth on some hot oatmeal. And yesterday i noticed my mouth feeling a little more from chewing. I checked this morning (Sunday) and noticed a patch of blisters. I know typically images aren't used on this site but it looks like this: https://m.imgur.com/TpkDgtH

Just wondering if I'm having an ob or it's blisters from the burn.

My physician told me due to it's location and appearance did not feel like i was having an OB and said there was no real need for a culture to be done. Simply thought it was a result of the hot food i ate. No real treatment other than time.

Ouch. I'm sorry there isn't much you can do, but I agree it's not an outbreak.

I hope you feel better soon! It looks painful. :(

Do you have an existing hsv1 infection, or are you concerned this is a new infection?

I can't tell you if you are having an ob or it's a bad burn, but in an existing infection, it's not common to get outbreaks in your mouth. If you think this may be a new infection, you should see your doctor.

Really, though, in either case, you should see your doc. That looks like a nasty burn if it's a burn. If it's a burn, though, I'd be surprised if your tongue wasn't also burned.

Can you get to an urgent care? If they think it's hsv1, make them do a culture on it, especially if this is a new infection for you. Don't let them just guess.

Let us know what the doctor says.

I do have existing hsv1 diagnosed last year. Not sure how and when i got it. And your right there was no burn to the tongue only the roof of my mouth. I'm seeing my physician later today. Ill ask about a culture.
