Suggest Treatment For Mouth Sores On The Gums

Question: Have a large mouth sore on the gums just below my lower teeth. It has been there for nearly a week and seems to be getting bigger. Very painful. How to treat?
Brief Answer:
Vitamin supplement, oral anaestietic agent + dental referral...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Based on the severity of sores, it may take a week to 10 days before sores heal. Without examination / evaluation it's difficult to know the cause and its specific treatment. I will suggest you start the following initially:
1. Vitamin B supplement - cap zincovit once a day for 3 weeks
2. Vitamin C supplement - Tab Limcee chewable tablet once a day for 3 weeks
3. Oral anaesthetic agent - Dologel CT ointment to be applied on the affected sore as and when required and before every meal.
4. Avoid hot and spicy diet.
You should also plan a visit to a dentist / ENT surgeon for examination of this sore.
Hope this helps.
