Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. There is a possibility that it was drug induced. Following measures will help to reduce your problem:
- Apply somogel (combination of Lignocaine (Base), Menthol, Eucalyptol, Cetylpyridinium chloride, Ethanol) on small amount over the sore. leave for 2-3 mins and then wash your mouth will plain water. Repeat this 3-4 times a day.
- Use any antiseptic mouth wash for your local store and use it twice a day.
- Food that will help:
soft, non-acidic foods, such as my omelette, mashed potatoes or mild, sauce-based foods like spaghetti. Try to take yogurt on daily basis.
- AVOID:
Acidic foods as citrus fruits, tomatoes, vinegars, pickles and ketchup while you're waiting for the ulcer to clear up.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
