Developed Red Patch On Hard Palate And Aphthous Ulcer On Mucosa After Viral Symptoms

My grandson has a bright red patch on his hard palate and aphthous ulcers on the mucosa. Both are very painful and occurred after a brief period of viral symptoms--headache, general aching, but overall symptoms have improved while oral symptoms have persisted.

Hello there,
Welcome to HCM,

Appearance of recurrent ulcers on the oral mucosa like palatal mucosa indicates inflammation .

It may be caused due to several reasons like deficiency or certain vitamins especially vitamin B12 and vitamin C.

start with multivitamin supplements for 7 to 10 days and vitamin C lozenges will help in resolving the problem.

avoid alcohol , carbonated drinks , tobacco chewing and smoking as these may worsen the area affected.

Apply oral antiseptic ,analgesic ointments like dentogel or mucogel topically over the affected area.

Maintain good oral hygiene and drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated.

i hope this helps,
take care.
