Applying dologel-ct for the last 9 days and also taking multivitamins. Still not healing. He does not have diabetes. Only taking thyroid and cholesterol medication. How long will this take to heal?

You need to visit a dentist and get it examined. It could be aphthous ulcer or traumatic ulcer. But detailed examination is needed for recommending any course of treatment
