Roof of mouth hurts from GERD?

Has anyone heard of GERD causing pain on the roof of the mouth? This is happening to a 11 year old girl who suffers from GERD. Has anyone ever heard of this happening from GERD? She says it feels like she ate something hot and the top of her mouth is burnt. But – it isn’t red or swollen and shows no visible signs that would cause discomfort.
And – she is going to the doctor later today – I just wanted to check in at Y! Answers.

Yes, I’ve had that happen (I’ve had GERD for many years). This is the acid burning at the skin inside her mouth. It can be painful if left untreated. If she has GERD she should be on medication to treat it. If left untreated it can create serious complications. I hope she feels better.
Yes, it can happen. Help her by telling her to sleep on her left side only and tilt her bed a little (or use a pillow wedge).
if it is not red or swollen ,then most likely its not due to gerd.should be checked by a doctor in good light.she might have injured her palate by eating something very hot.that could’ve been missed by you as u are not a doctor i guess.
gerd is not a common diagnosis in 11 years old children.
and sometimes children cannot explain their problem clearly she should modify her diet
