What could be causing a painful red spot with a white center in my mouth that hasn't improved after five days of taking Becosules, and how can I treat it if it isn't mouth cancer?
This sounds like a common canker sore (aphthous ulcer) rather than mouth cancer. Canker sores are harmless but painful and typically heal on their own within 10 to 14 days. While Becosules (vitamin B-complex) helps if you have a vitamin deficiency, it may not immediately cure the ulcer. To help with the pain, you can apply a topical anesthetic gel containing lidocaine directly to the spot and rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Avoid spicy, salty, or acidic foods. If the sore persists beyond two weeks, grows larger, or becomes extremely painful, please consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation.
