Brief Answer:
stress and nutritional deficiency needs evaluated
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Very often we find young males working in stressful job scenes coming to the clinic with such mouth ulcers. We generally refer them first to dental examination to look for jagged teeth, gingivitis. Once they are ruled out we put them for simple counselling and symptomatic treatment.
You can take Tab Riboflavin twice a day after meal for a month.
You can apply baking soda paste (mix with water) and apply over the ulcer 20 min before meal
Eat a lot of fruit and veggies in your diet
Yoga and meditation coupled with a game/sport will relax you.
If it is frequent the last point has to be emphasized.
Hope this is useful
