Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am currently having a mouth ulcer (canker sore) on my tongue for the past four days. How can I cure it? I have been taking vitamin B tablets and applying a mouth ulcer gel. It had appeared two months ago. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Mouth ulcers are caused by indigestion and bacterial infections. So, if the Vitamin B complex does not help, then antibiotics are required. I suggest you share a picture of the sore so that I can help you better. How old are you? Do you have difficulties in passing stool?

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
