A member asked:

I have two horrible ulcers in my mouth that hurt so bad i can't even eat. what is a quick and easy way to remove them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Topical ointment: Painful ulcers can be treated with a topical ointment which contains a steroid. It needs to be applied multiple times during the day but will decrease inflammation, pain, and shorten the healing time.
