Ayurvedic Treatment for Glandular Cheilitis

Glandular cheilitis is a rare inflammatory disorder of the lip which is characterised by swelling of the lip with variable inflammation and the secretion of a clear and thick mucus. The chronic exposure of the lower lip becomes affected by the environment which leads to erosion, crusting, ulceration and infection. It is more common in adult males as compared to females and children.

Complaints of the patients suffering from glandularis cheilitis vary according to the nature and degree of pain, the enlargement and the loss of elasticity of the lip and the extent of evident surface change. Sometimes, a burning discomfort or sensation of rawness referable to the vermillion border may be reported which is associated with erosion, frank ulceration with crusting.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF GLANDULAR CHEILITIS?

  • Swelling and pouting of the lower lip.
  • Numerous pin sized orifices from which saliva can be easily expressed.
  • Tenderness
  • Uneven surface of the lip
  • Salivary gland duct orifices may be dilated and appear as red or black in colour.

GLANDULARIS CHEILITIS IS SUB CLASSIFIED INTO 3 TYPES

  1. In the simple type, multiple and painless papular surface with central depressions and dilated canals are seen.
  2. The second or superficial suppurative type consists of painless, indurated swelling of the lip with shallow ulceration and crusting.
  3. The third type consists of a deep-seated infection with the formation of abscesses, sinus tracts or fistulas which are potential for scarring.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF GLANDULAR CHEILITIS?

  • Lip enlargement is due to inflammation, edema, hyperemia and fibrosis.
  • It is an unusual clinical manifestation of cheilitis that evolves in response to one or more diverse sources of chronic irritation.
  • Erosion, surface keratosis and crusting develop due to longstanding actinic exposure or due to excessive wetting due to compulsive licking, dryness or any other repeated stimulus that could serve as a chronic aggravating factor.

WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS OF GLANDULAR CHEILITIS?

  • Squamous cell carcinoma may arise particular in the context of long term sun exposure and smoking.
  • Secondary bacterial infection can result in drainage of pus, ulceration and abscess formation.

TREATMENT

According to the modern medicine, the treatment of glandular cheilitis is not necessary because it is not successful in restoring the lip back to the normal but if it is caused by sun damage or infection, then treatment is necessary.

Treatment Include:

  • Prescription of topical or oral antibiotics
  • Excision of a nodule if there is a suspicion of squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Vermilionectomy i.e. the excision of the entire affected lip.

Halitosis ( Bad Breath )- Causes & Ayurvedic Treatment

Most of us usually go to the dentist for a regular checkup of teeth-cleaning or to check for cavities, but that's it. We do not pay our great attention to what is actually happening in our mouth. Beyond a beautiful smile, good oral health is an important issues of concern. In our mouth it can actually indicate more serious health problems.

"Pay attention to the early warning signs, as it could be an indication of something more serious." As far as oral hygiene is concerned.

So to keep an eye on healthy system of our body, we should pay attention to some problems that can occur due to bad hygiene of mouth. These can be tooth decay, bad breath, dry mouth, white-coated tongue and more.

One of the general problem out of these is of Bad Breath.

Waking up with a bad breath during morning is generally normal if it happens sometimes. As it occurs due to dry mouth during night, which allows bacteria to grow sometimes and that bacteria is the reason behind this.

But if you are getting bad breath on regular basis, it is an indication that there is something wrong within your mouth. It is that precious time to review your oral health habits. It will help to manage the problem of Halitosis.

WHAT IS BAD BREATH?

Halitosis (Bad Breath) is defined as a bad unpleasant smell that originates from the oral cavity with different origins like intra and extra oral origin. Around the world, there are about fifty percent of people having halitosis, with 90% of intra–oral causes.

CLASSIFICATION OF HALITOSIS

1. Genuine Halitosis:

A malodour is there and it is classified in two types:

Physiologic Halitosis - It originate from dorso-posterior region of the tongue.

Pathologic Halitosis -

  1. Oral Halitosis which is caused by disease, or malfunction of oral tissues. It is derived from tongue coating.
  2. Extra-oral which originates from nasal, paranasal and laryngeal regions. Malodour originates from pulmonary tract, digestive tract or disorders that are blood-borne and emitted via the lungs like diabetes, hepatic cirrhosis and more.

2. Pseudo Halitosis:

Malodour is not realized by other people, although the patient stubbornly complains of the presence of bad breath. Condition can be improved by counseling.

3. Halitophobia:

Sometimes after treatment for genuine halitosis or pseudo-halitosis, the patient still believe that they have halitosis. But no such symptoms are found in those patients.

WHAT CAUSES CAN BE THERE FOR HALITOSIS

Halitosis originates in the mouth due to many reasons like inadequate plaque control, periodontal disease, dry mouth, faulty restorations.

One is due to excessive bacterial growth on the posterior surface of the tongue. The bacteria is an anaerobic gram-negative organism in mouth. In the other twenty percent of cases, bad breath is caused by disorders like hepatic, pancreatic and nephrotic problems, upper and lower respiratory tract infection, medication or due to gastric content.
