Ulcer in mouth
Doctor, I've had a mouth ulcer for 8 to 9 days. Initially, eating was painful, but using an ulcer cream for the past two days has provided some relief. However, I still experience discomfort when applying the cream. As a former smoker who quit over five years ago, I'm concerned that the ulcer isn't healing. Can you please offer some guidance?

Do not worry about it. Healthy diet, multivitamin and maintaining oral hygiene should suffice.

Donât worry it will go away. Please follow a healthy diet rich in fibers and vitamin B12. Avoid spicy and deep fried food items. Keep applying the gel. Constipation can also be one reason

Hi! Nothing to worry, This appears to be a minor aphthous ulcer, which usually heals on its own in a few days. You can apply Dologel-CT 3–4 times a day for 5 to 7 days—it will help speed up healing and reduce discomfort. Make sure to drink plenty of water, avoid spicy or acidic foods that may trigger irritation, and maintain good oral hygiene. There’s nothing to worry about—it should settle down soon with care.

Hi,
There is no need to worry. It looks like an aphthous ulcer. Visit a dentist to check for any sharp tooth margins. Avoid hot and spicy food.
