Question: I have a mouth ulcer on my inner portion of lower lip from last 3 days, what are the best practices to cure it ? can i take Vitamin B tablets to cure it ?
Brief Answer:
Usually self limiting, addition of medicines helps.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted your finding of an ulcer on inside of lower lip for last 3 days.
I would advise you the following:
- Multivitamins capsules help.
- Frequent water intake helps in cleaning and soothing.
- Short course of oral steroids of a few days helps early pain relief due to strong anti-inflammatory property and helps in healing (needs a prescription of a local Doctor).
- Do not fondle with tongue as one feels like touching it again and again as the ulcer lies at tip's reach.
- Avoid readymade gsrglrs, they do not help.
- Diet: you are already taking care of.
I hope this answer helps you for early recovery.
I also hope that ulcers in mouth is not a recurrent problem for you.
Please feel free to ask relevant further queries if you need to or if you feel that there is a gap of communication..
Please share if you have any other additional problems.
