Brief Answer:
aphthous ulcer, allergic stomatitis, medication

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and the images.
As per the images, the ulcers look like an aphthous ulcer which occurs secondary to stress. The other possible cause can be an allergic stomatitis ( allergic reaction to food or oil). Nothing to be panic, you can take a course of topical anesthetics like lignocaine and topical steroids like triamcinolone acetoide. Do saline gargling.
The ulcers will heal in 3 to 5 days. if it is not subsiding then consult an oral physician and get it evaluated.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have any queries reply me back. Take care.

Brief Answer:
Take the prescribed medicine and consult physician

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply.
Nothing to be panic, I will prescribe the trade name of the combination drugs which are effective in this condition. Topical steroids like Kennacort(0.1% triamcinolone acetonide), apply 3 to 4 times daily( you need to apply the ointment and leave it for 2 minutes and wash your mouth) and topical analgesic and anesthetics like XXXXXXX gel 3 to 4 times daily. Apply these ointments for 5 days continuously, the lesions will heal. Do soda bit corb mouth wash. You can also take multivitamin supplements. If it is not subsidingeven after that then you need to consult a good oral physician and get a biopsy done to confirm the diagnosis.
Regarding constipation, you need to consult a general physician and get it evaluated.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have any queries reply me back. Take care.

Brief Answer:
continue the medicines, be calm.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply.
I would suggest you to be calm, do not take stress because stress increases the incidence of ulcers again. Take those medicines I have written both trade name and generic name so that you can get it in all pharmaceutical shops. It takes some some time to heal, the pain will subside gradually nothing to worry.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have further queries reply me back. Take care.

Brief Answer:
stress free life, No permanent cure

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for your reply. I am happy that you got relief from the ulcer. There is no permanent cure for the ulcer but the frequency of ulcers can be minimised by keeping yourself calm. Do not take stress because stress induces these ulcers. No need to consult anybody if the lesion has healed. Just take medicines which I have prescribed now.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
