What injection and medicine should I use to treat a mouth ulcer?

Asked by Female, 28 · 12 hours ago

Mouth ulcers rarely require injections and usually heal on their own in 1 to 2 weeks. For treatment, you can use over-the-counter pain-relieving gels containing benzocaine or choline salicylate, or topical steroid gels like triamcinolone acetonide to speed up healing. Rinsing with a chlorhexidine mouthwash also helps. Injections (such as local corticosteroid injections) are only used by specialists for severe, non-healing, or giant ulcers. Please consult a doctor or dentist if your ulcer lasts longer than two weeks or causes extreme pain.
