Canker sores (Ulcer In Mouth)
Canker sores
Present in the mouth ( on the cheek inside), it's been there for 5 days now, and I've been applying dologel ct.
Any home remedies or something I can take? Plus initially there I took paracetamol 650mg and Allegra 120.
Still, a bit of pain is there, is it the right treatment I'm doing or something else I can do.
And swallowing is difficult and while swallowing a mild pain goes to the left ear.
