You are advised to avoid spicy foods. Take Isabgul at night. Take lot of green vegitables and water during day. Apply Hexigel over ulcer three times in a day to get fast healing of ulcers. Continue b-complex tablet.

Hi..
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have gone through your query and can understand your health concerns..

As per your complain it is seen in many individuals that after taking sour and spicy foods there is outbreaks of canker sores or Apthous ulcers as the spicy food and sour foods or even hot foods can cause trauma and irritation to the oral mucosa and lead to formation of small ulcers..

The best way to treat the condition is to avoid the factors causing outbreaks..
-You should avoid taking very hot and spicy foods..
-Avoid intake of sour foods and fruits frequently..
-Suck on ice pops to cool and soothe the oral mucosa..
-In case if there is an outbreak of ulcers you should take a course of steroids like Medrol or Prednisone twice daily..
-Take a course of multivitamin one tablet daily which contains all nutrients and not only Vitamin b and riboflavin, for this purpose Amways Nutrilite Daily is a good option.
-Take a cool, soft and bland diet,,
-Stay away from smoking and alcohol if you do..
-Swish with numbing mouthwashes to get relieved in case of pain..
-OTC painkiller like Ibuprofen can be taken..
-Warm saline gargles can help..
-Stay away from stress and do meditation and yoga as it can be a cause of frequent ulcers along with hot spicy and sour foods..

Hope this information helps..
