Suggest Treatment For Recurring Mouth Ulcers
Hello! I am 55 years old. My wight is 62kg & my height is 5'6". Since long I have been diagnosed IBS & have taken lot of medicine as being advised by the Physicians & am not taking the medicines any more of my own. I am carrier of Hepatitis B. {Silent}. For the last many a years mouth ulcers were developing on my interior lips & tongue occasionally but for the last a few months the mouth ulcers in numbers at a time have occurred frequently thus resulting in intolerable pain though I did apply Candid & other connected Zels but with no fruitful results. I am at loss to know that why these mouth ulcers are developing frequently & in this connection I request you to advise me what necessary measures I shall adopt to get relief from this problem & no further mouth ulcers may occur.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. As you having IBS which can leads to B complex vitamin deficiencies which further can leads to mouth ulcers. Taking vitamin B complex supplements will be helpful in such case also. Other conditions like herpes virus should be checked also which also can give such clinical picture. In case of positive results antiviral therapy helps also. IBS should be managed properly. A consultation with a gastroenterologist and colonoscopy examination will be helpful in treating this. Drugs like mesalazine is helpful in controlling IBS in many patients. Also avoid food and drink which stimulates your IBS.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks
