Introduction

Mucocele is this word, which in fact is a very common and which is also usually harmless, in the oral abolition ways. Towards this end, I am going to set out a thorough exposé of mucocele, the reasons for its occurrence, the pathological symptoms, and recommended treatments, not forgetting the homeopathic methods.

 

What is a Mucocele?

A mucocele is a small, painless, liquid-filled bump that appears on the inner linings of the lower lip, cheeks, or under the tongue. It is a result of saliva buildup from damaged or blocked salivary glands.

 

Causes of Mucocele

The main mucocele inducers are:

• Physical trauma to the oral cavity
• Biting of the lips or cheek
• A person wears dental appliances that fit attachments poorly
• Wearing an oral piercing for the mouth
• Salivary ducts are blocked

 

Symptoms of Mucocele

Noted symptoms of mucocele are generalized as follows:

• A round, dome-shaped bump on the inner lip, cheek, or under the tongue
• Weakness is the only sign of something being wrong. The swelling causes no discomfort and becomes bigger with time
• One unusual color, blue combined with tension indicating a clogged gland
• Before the size conversion, the mass may be as small as few millimeters or it can be a few centimeters in size
• Periodic draining and refilling stages of the mucous cyst

 

Side Effects of Conventional Medicines

Whereas, the procedures of traditional medicine, for instance, surgically removing it (mucocele) and cryotherapy provide necessary treatment, they could come with the following:

Scarring

Infection

The problem can come back after mucocele removal

Damage to surrounding tissues

In rare cases, there is either, temporary numbness or altered sensation in the affected area of the body

 

Advantages of Using Homeopathy

As a homeopath, I have complete faith in homeopathic cure for mucocele. Some of the pluses are listed below:

The holistic aspect of the therapy. The aim there is to act upon the organism personally, by removing factors of unhealthy lifestyle and introducing natural elements

No side effects of too high a dose of a homeopathy based therapy is an advantage for every patient

Homeopathy treats the body as a system, not as an isolated symptom that can be treated in this way

It makes the entire mouth feel good

Lively eating and joyful learning are some of the other aspects of the may of the food that does offer

An equivalent medication for a child can be given as a much more affordable and efficient option

 

Some Homeopathic Medicines for Mucocele

Thuja Occidentalis: This is the one my patients and I have found to be extremely efficacious for mucous membrane cysts. It is versatile enough to help with all abnormal growths and swellings, which are just what we want for the mucocele treatment. In my practice, I usually choose to prescribe it in 30C strength twice a day for seven days.

Calcarea Fluorica: Such a remedy is an excellent helper in cases with lumps but absent pain and also assists in the treatment of cysts. I usually suggest it for patients with recurrent mucocele. I usually use 6X potency, three times daily for two weeks but a higher dose that you do not need the other medications may also be possible.

Silicea: This is a proven facilitator of tissue reparation and cysts' absorption; what is more impressive is Silicea's use in the mucocele cases as well. Normally, I use 30C power to get one pill a day for a single month.

Mercurius Solubilis: This kind of homeopathic specialty is very successful when mucous growth is seen with swollen parotid glands and increased secretion of saliva. A 6C remedy, taken right away for days over a period, has been of great success in my case.

Hepar Sulphuris: It's the drug that I have found to be most effective for the healing of mucocele. It's known when a specific point on the affected area does not allow even a light touch. I normally dispense 30C potency twice weekly but that depends on the case.

Calendula: I don't recommend it in the constitutional category, but its capacity to heal the wound is so great that it is recommended. It is to be done both in the form of internal usage (30C potency, twice daily) and as a mouthwash for soothing the site.

 

Belladonna: On the condition that it is being given to the patient with signs of inflammation and redness that I am considering Belladonna to be effective remedy. Most of the cases were resolved by giving the medicine in 30C strength three times a day for three days. It will be attended to similarly to other infectious inflammatory disorders by this drug.

Apis Mellifica: This is a drug that I usually give to patients who complain about such a mucocele that is rather sensitive to the pain of stinging and feeling of swelling. The dosage can be 30C slimming, like "thirteen every four hours for bulimia", etc.

Borax: Well, I have done several observations on the mucosal ulcers that accompany mucocele, Borax is found to be effective in reducing the pain of the wounds. The dosage I usually suggest is 6C potency, three tablets daily for one week as a normal course.

Graphites: The result of the treatment can be visualized as a decrease in the number of mucosas that break and swell. From my experience, I have noticed that 30C should be taken two times every day for two weeks; that is the best way that results are gotten.

 

Common FAQs Related to Mucocele and Homeopathy

 

Q: How effective is homeopathy in treating mucocele?

A: My time of working always I had been homeopathy which is which one can have an easy success and get a quick response from it. Surgery in homeopathy is not a good thing to do as it does not allow the brain to be operated and therefore the brain starts to respond. Not only does it treat current symptoms, but it also addresses the underlying cause thereby preventing the likelihood of recurrence. Many of my patients who have benefited from homeopathic remedies were saved from surgical procedure, so they are indeed lucky.

Q: How long does homeopathic treatment for mucocele typically take?

A: The time it takes for these healthcare facilities to break up is uncertain to a given sector of the inference. Conditions that are of a milder nature could see a good deal of improvement in a relatively short period of time, as within 2-3 weeks of starting treatment. On the other hand, the situation could get dire especially when a case of mucocele becomes too persistent and hence at maximum a patient could spend 1-2 months for complete resolution.
