Suggest Treatment For Ulcers In Cheek Linings, Lips And Tongue
I think I have herpetiform ulcers. I have several on both left and right cheek linings, the lining covering the upper gums, both upper and lower lip and under my tongue. This condition is extremely painful and is interfering with my oral intake and dental care. Also, my gums, tongue and teeth are looking pale. I know oral ulcers typically go away by themselves without any treatment but should I go to a hospital for treatment?
