A member asked:
Doctors, at least once in a mouth i am suffering from mouth ulcers. how can i avoid mouth ulcer a?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't avoid well: Recurrent mouth ulcers are most likely recurrent aphthous ulcers. If so, this is caused by your body's immune system and any kind of stress will cause them to manifest. My advice is to get a topical steroid with or without topical anesthetic to minimize the impact and duration of the ulcers. Get an official diagnosis by seeing a dentist first to confirm.
