Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Yes, this is an oral ulcer.
Do not worry, it gets over soon.
However, it indicates deficiency of vitamin B Complex.
Please take B folcin tablet once daily for one month to avoid frequent such ulcers.
Apply Orajel ( glycerine ) ointment on the ulcer five to six times a day.
Avoid eating oily, spicy food.
It should be better soon.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
