My mother has burning gums after using Corsodyl mouthwash too often and for too long. Can you help?

Q.
Dear Dr Kalpesh,

My mum had serious effect of excessive use of the mouthwash. She used this mouthwash called Corsodyl Mouthwash for almost 4 months. She used it 4 times in a day with at least 25-30 min at a time until she realised the change in her gums and teethes.
Now she has burning sensation almost all the time and it grows up efficiently if she had any high sugar containing foods. There is some colour change in the lower part of her tongue as well.
Could you please give me some suggestion, how these things could be cured and what major things does she need to do in order to have healthy gums and teeth back.
Thank you.

Hi

I would recommend you follow the instructions of corsodyl mouthwash on the bottle. I would strongly recommend your mother visits an experienced dentist to examine the mouth , diagnose the problem and treat the problem appropriately. Remember corsodyl is an adjunct only. It is more important to see a dentist and hygienist for appropriate cleaning to treat the gum disease.
