Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query. I understand your concern. It could be an oral ulcer due to local trauma of mucosa of the oral cavity (due to spicy or hot food). Are you diabetic? Do you smoke or consume alcohol? I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below. 1. Take anti-inflammatory enzymes like trypsin. 2. Take tablet Paracetamol (anti-inflammatory) for five days. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them and take the medications with their consent. 3. Take antacids or proton pump inhibitors for a week. 4. Apply local ointment having antibiotics and anesthetic agents after food four times a day for a week. 5. Do chlorhexidine mouth gargles for a week three times daily after food (before applying ointment). 6. Avoid hot and spicy food. 7. Drink plenty of water. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
