Understanding Mouth Ulcers

• Mouth ulcers are painful sores inside the mouth, often caused by stress, injury, or certain foods.

Home Care and Symptom Relief

• Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing gently.
• Avoid spicy, acidic, or hot foods that can irritate ulcers.
• Use over-the-counter gels like Mucopain for pain relief.

Medications and Treatments

• Consider antiseptic mouthwashes or topical corticosteroids if needed.
• Use pain relievers like paracetamol for severe discomfort.

When to See a Doctor

• Seek medical advice if ulcers persist beyond two weeks, are very painful, or frequently recur.

Preventive Measures

• Manage stress and avoid known dietary triggers to reduce recurrence.
