Suggest Treatment For A Chronic Mouth Ulcer
respected doctor, i am suffering from chronic mouth ulcer for last 25 years and no medicine could cure it. presently, the healing time has gone up and frequency of occurence has also increased.
right now one local doctor diagnosed this ulcer as CANDIDIASIS and has prescribed CANDITRAL capsules which i find is anti fungal drug. this medicine was never prescribed by any doctor in the past and i don't know whether there is any side effects as the medicine with 200 mg potency has been prescribed for 2 weeks, one daily after lunch.
i shall be grateful to receive your proper medical advice on this

Hi dear ,
The ulcers in mouth is very common thing and perhaps everyone suffered from ulcers once in a life times . But ulcers for such a long times are alarming . There can be many factors that can cause ulcers like vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency , low immunity or some underlying disease . I would suggest you to consult oral pathologist for proper diagnosis and to find out the exact cause . Doctor may examine them physically , take biopsy or order complete blood profile . For now continue medicine prescribed by doctor , start multivitamin supplement , do warm saline rinses 2-3 times daily and avoid hot and spicy food .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
