Hello and welcome.
Please do not worry about oral ulcers.They do come on and off.It only shows that their is deficiency of vitamin B in your children diet.

Please give them supplements containing vitamin B and also diet rich in vitamins and minerals at this growing age group.

Few of the dietary items that can be included in their diet are green leafy vegetables,eggs,meat ,fish,dals,soyabean and milk and milk products.

For now they can apply dologel on the affected areas,before and after food for a week.wish them good health.

Thanks.
Take care.

Hello
welcome to HCm
Ulcer at this age seems to be apthous ulcer which is due to stomach upset,stress, vitamin deficiency.
So make sure their stomach is fine, start vitamin b12 tablet and apply zytee gel 3 to 4 times a day. Anchor ulcer on your son mouth must b bcoz of same drinking water in same glass so avoid that
Thank you
