Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your query,

Mouth sores can occur due to multiple reasons like vitamin deficiencies, stress, inappropriate spicy foods, hormone changes etc.

If I was your treating physician, I would suggest you to do the following:

- Continue with multi- vitamin capsules for a month.
- Make use of XXXXXXX ointment which can be applied over the affected area. This ointment contains local anesthetic, which provides good pain relief.
- Consume plenty of fruit juices and yogurt.

I hope this helps,

Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close and share your positive feedback,

Brief Answer:
Zytee ointment is enough for pain relief.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Thanks for writing back,

Zytee ointment will be enough for now, it contains NSAIDs which acts as pain relievers and is enough to provide your pain relief. But personally, I always recommend XXXXXXX ointment or any ointment which contains triamcinolone acetonide, as it provides dual purpose of pain and also reduces the flare up.

I hope this helps,
