He is under medication like oraflora, dologel, Probase-V ,already given Doxypal Drl-100 mg currently going on but still he got only 50% relief and during eating time its feel pain and also new 1-2 ulcer also form Can you help me in this .
Brief Answer:
Stress and nutritional deficiencies can cause recurring ulcer.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nutritional deficiency especially lack of vitamins in the diet are the major cause for recurrent ulcer. Stress and anxiety can also cause ulcers but it is not that much common in children.
Rarely infectious causes out of poor dental hygiene also cause development of ulcers. As of now the treatment is symptomatic in the form of pain relief and antibiotics (doxypal)
As of now try to include more fruits and vegetables to the diet and you can also add over the counter available multivitamin like supradyn once daily basis.
If symptoms persist other medical conditions like Behcet disease must be ruled out.
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Citrus fruits
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You can add citrus fruits like orange that will be rich in vitaminC which will help collagen synthesis and healing of oral ulcers.
Any fruit juice would be good for now.
Tests like ANA profile would give clue towards Behcet disease but it can consider only if there is persistent symptoms.
Thanks
