Reoccurrence Of Mouth Ulcer After Treatment. Any Permanent Solution?

Dear Doctor : My name is AAAAAAA AAAAAAA from Nepal and am 60 years old. I have been suffering from mouth ulcers from early age. It is appearing frequently and after treatment it heals and takes about a week to heal. But it appears again and again, sometimes beneath tongue , cheeks etc. I would like to wipe this ulcer completely so that it won t reoccur. To treat the ulcer, I usually do mouth wash and apply antiseptic gel. Is there any treatment that I can get out of it permanently. I would be grateful to your valueable reply. Thanks.

U might be suffering from recurrent apthous ulcers.. to know more about it.. first of all basic origin of these ulcers is STRESS.. try to live stress free life..
note the period of month u usually get them..
even ur diet need to be written down.. as some people got these ulcers by allergic response to any particular food ingredient like clove, cinnamon,very spicy food.. too.
even most people reported the recurrence only when they skip meals or have untimed meals due to work.. have proper healthy meals try to include fruits daily in ur diet and have meals at regular intervals..
even the iron deficient persons have the recurrence of ulcers at high rate.. get ur serum iron,calcium and vitamin b,c level checked in ur body.. if its the basic cause of ur ulcers the nutritional supplement will help in avoiding its recurrence..
note the causes of ur ulcer and try to avoid them.. thats the advice.. and have good timed nutritional diet.. it will help u most...
make a chart noting the diet taken, stress level @ home/work, timing of meals 2-3 days before, every time ulcer reoccur this will help u to find root cause of ulcer thereby can leads to complete eradication if possible..
meanwhile an antioxident can help u in case of first irritation noticed @ site which can be origin of ulcer. by taking them on first irritation ulcer healing time reduces by 50%..
good luck.
