Suggest Treatment For Canker Sores In The Mouth

It has been three years now that I suffer from canker sores (really painful in multiple inside my mouth and tongue) on a monthly basis, each in time when I am about to have my monthly period and last few days after my period. So my days of canker sore freedom are less. I have discomfort and inconvenience most of the time. Does it have something to do with the hormones? or my tissues? How will this be treated? Please enlighten me. I will be mush grateful.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Canker sores on a regular basis can be painstaking. This can be by a variety of reasons of which few can be a increased stress level, anemia ,Vitamin B deficiency and food related .

Please check your Hb levels and if you are anemic,take iron tablets consulting your GP doctor.

You can also start multi vitamins.

If you are in the habit of taking spicy food,avoiding much of spices as this can also provide you relief.

Relax your stress level as that will aggravate the ulcers.

* On the ulcer you can apply Dentogel/Mucogel 2-3 times daily. Use chlorhexidine mouthwash for a while.

If still persisting consult your local dentist.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and warm regards.
