Recurrent Mouth Ulcerse Treatment in Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune
Recurrent Mouth Ulcerse Treatment
If you’re looking for treatment for recurrent mouth ulcers (also called recurrent aphthous stomatitis) from Navale’s Clinic, here’s a general approach often followed at such clinics, combining standard care with practical local recommendations
Symptoms of Recurrent Mouth Ulcers
1. Painful sores:
- Usually round or oval with a white or yellow center and a red border.
- Found on non-keratinized mucosa (inside lips, cheeks, soft palate, tongue).
2. Recurring episodes:
- Ulcers recur at intervals—can range from weeks to months.
- Each episode may last 7–14 days.
3. Size and type:
- Minor aphthous ulcers: <1 cm, shallow, heal without scarring.
- Major aphthous ulcers: >1 cm, deeper, may scar.
- Herpetiform ulcers: Multiple tiny ulcers (<1–2 mm), may coalesce.
4. Burning or tingling
- May precede the appearance of an ulcer by 1–2 days.
5. Pain on eating, drinking, or speaking
- especially with spicy or acidic foods.
6. No systemic symptoms:
- Unlike herpes simplex virus, RAS typically has no fever or malaise.
- No lymphadenopathy in isolated RAS.
Recurrent Mouth Ulcers – Treatment Plan
Initial Assessment
- Full medical history and frequency/duration of ulcers.
- Check for underlying systemic conditions (e.g., anemia, vitamin deficiencies, GI issues, stress).
- Rule out systemic causes like:
Iron, Vitamin B12, or Folate deficiency
Celiac disease
Behçet’s disease
Immunodeficiencies
Common Treatment Options
1. Topical Therapy (First-line)
- Triamcinolone acetonide paste (Kenacort) – applied directly to the ulcer.
- Chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash – reduces secondary infection and promotes healing.
- Benzydamine mouthwash or spray – for pain relief.
- Lidocaine viscous gel – for symptomatic pain relief before meals.
2. Nutritional Support
- Vitamin B-complex supplements – esp. B1, B2, B6, B12.
- Iron and Folic Acid supplements – if anemia is found.
- Zinc supplements – sometimes recommended for immune support.
3. Systemic Therapy (for severe or resistant cases)
- Oral steroids (e.g., Prednisolone) – short course under supervision.
- Colchicine or Dapsone – in resistant or Behçet’s-like presentations.
- Levamisole – immunomodulator, sometimes used in recurrent cases.
4. Lifestyle & Dietary Advice
- Avoid spicy, acidic, and hot foods.
- Stay hydrated.
- Stress management – sometimes linked to ulcer flare-ups.
- Good oral hygiene with soft-bristle toothbrush.
5. Special Measures at Navale’s Clinic (if offered):

Follow-Up
