What Causes Oral Sores In Mouth?

I started Aldera ointment 2 weeks ago for BCC areas on my nose. Treatment at night, M.T.W.Th.F, then off for two days then on again. After 2 weeks noticed huge oral sores in my mouth. What are these ? Oral antibiotics and oral anti-viral medication have done nothing to minimize the pain or the ulcerations.

Hello,
Thanx for the query, I am hoping to advice the best possible to you.
It will be wrong if I say that your ulcers are surely due to the Aldara cream you are using but possibility of this can't be ignored. Your ulcers may be due to nutritional deficiency or due to any other medicines or may be due to stress.

I am advising few things to relief the symptom

• Avoid hot and spicy food and beverages for few days.

• Maintain a healthy lifestyle to help manage stress — eat a healthy diet,
exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Having a healthy lifestyle will
help you manage periods of high stress

• Eat more green leafy vegetables and have diet rich in protein.

• Rinse your mouth with Betadene/Viodine/Betakind gargle (contains
povidone iodine solution) easily available in medical stores, twice daily.

• Apply mucopain/dologel to the affected area 3-4 times daily.

• Take antioxidant+multivitamin capsule once daily for 15 days.

• You may discontinue Aldara cream for few days precautionary. But do
consult your doctor before discontinuing.

Hope this will help you. If there is any more query or question regarding this in your mind, you are free to ask any time.

Read your query.

I advice you to apply Mucopain gel on the lesion two to three times a day.

Take multivitamin tablets for a month.For the pain you can take paracetamol.

If still persisting consult your dentist.
