Vitamin defeciency
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The most common cause for mouth ulcers is vitamin deficiency.
Do wash your mouth with antiseptic solution like Chlorhexidne thrice daily after food. This will prevent infections and help in healing.
Also do take Multivitamin supplements on daily basis for a moth from now.
Apply CANDID mouth gel over the ulcers you have.
Hope, I answered your query.
