My mother is still experiencing severe pain from a mouth ulcer despite using Dologel and Becosules; would an antibiotic help provide quick relief, or is there a better treatment option?
Antibiotics generally will not help or provide quick relief unless there is a secondary bacterial infection, as most ulcers are not caused by bacteria. Since Dologel and Becosules aren't offering enough relief, she might benefit from a topical corticosteroid gel to reduce inflammation and speed up healing. For now, please have her avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods, and try gentle warm salt-water rinses. If the ulcer doesn't improve soon, it is best to consult a doctor for a personalized evaluation.
