Mouth Ulcers Treatment

Health Encyclopedia: Mouth Ulcers

Alternative Names

Oral ulcer; Stomatitis - ulcerative; Ulcer - mouth

Treatment

The goal of treatment is relief of symptoms. The cause, if known, should be treated. Gentle, thorough oral hygiene may relieve some of the symptoms. Topical (rubbed on) antihistamines, antacids, corticosteroids, or other soothing preparations may be recommended for applying on top of the ulcer. Avoid hot or spicy foods, which often increase the pain of mouth ulcers.
