Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

First I wish your father good health.

Relating to the mouth ulcers,this can be due to chronic vitamin deficiency,stress factors and also in consideration of the age.

I would advice you to ask him continue with the muti-vitamins the doctor has prescribed for him.

*For the ulcers ,you can apply Mucogel/Mucopain gel on it for a while till the ulcer heals.

*Advice him to do betadine mouth wash gargling.

*Avoid spicy food and stress should be reduced.

*Add all nutrients in his food and check for any digestive problem which will also aggravate them.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
