A member asked:

I am suffering from an ulcer on the roof of my mouth right up the back where the tongue touches what can i use to get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ulcer: If it is an ulcer they usually take 7-10 days to resolve and treating the symptoms with orabase or peroxyl rinse. If it persists beyond that time you should have it chekced out by your dentist or oral surgeon to make sure it is just an ulcer.
