Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Suppressed immune system can lead to ulceration of roof of mouth.

Apply muco pain gel on the affected area.

Discontinue use of dentures or appliances if you have any.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Stop or discontinue use of tobacco or pan.

Gargle frequently with warm saline .

Take care.
