Oral medicine is a specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of complex medical diseases of the oral mucosa. Successful treatment depends on a proper and accurate diagnosis. A successful diagnostician must possess qualities such as knowledge, interest, intuition, curiosity, and perseverance. His 99.9% of systemic illnesses have one or more of his oral symptoms diagnosed by an oral health professional before a general practitioner. Early detection and diagnosis are critical for early treatment, improved survival, and limited treatment complications. We present the case of a 14-year-old female who had an acute oral allergic reaction to an over-the-counter drug. |
