Suggest Treatment For Painful Mouth Ulcers

Hi there. For the past three weeks I have had ulcers in my mouth. They keep moving around my mouth. I have mostly had them under my tongue. They are painful when I drink water and eat I feel a burning sensation. There is not a small black dot or dot of blood in my cheeks.

What is the best thing for me to do? I am tired of this and just want them to go.

Thanks

Hi,

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from a severe case of Apthous Ulcers or Canker Sores while it can also be due to other causes like Herpes virus infection causing cold sores or Bullous Pemphegoid.

You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Oral swab culture and blood tests can be done for confirmation. As of now I would suggest you to start gargling with warm saline solution. Gargle with a numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine. Take a Vitamin B complex daily. You can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen.

Avoid spicy and hard foods. Take a soft and bland diet..You can also suck ice and do cool water rinses. Once diagnosis is confirmed then if thee is Viral infection antiviral medication like Acyclovir, Valacyclovir etc can be advised.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks and regards,
Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora
