Hello

Thank you for getting back. I'm sorry but i did not receive any image. I would try to help you manage it. Following measures will help to reduce your problem:

- Apply somogel (combination of Lignocaine (Base), Menthol, Eucalyptol, Cetylpyridinium chloride, Ethanol) on small amount over thr 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, vinegar, 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.
Wishing you good health !!
