Oral ulcer is one of the most common oral mucosal diseases. It is a localized ulcer lesion of the oral mucosa characterized by periodic recurrence. It can heal itself and can occur in any part of the oral mucosa, more commonly on the lips, cheeks, and tongue. In severe cases, it can affect the pharyngeal mucosa. Although there are many treatments for oral ulcers, they are basically symptomatic treatments, the main purpose of which is to relieve pain or reduce the number of recurrences, but they cannot completely control recurrence, so prevention of this disease is particularly important. You can apply oral ulcer powder, Yunnan Baiyao, etc. externally and drink more water. Don't take oral ulcers lightly.
