Any mouth ulcer which is non healing or spreading fast or persists for longer than 3 weeks should be taken seriously and doctor\u2019s opinion should be sought for the same.<\/p>\n<h2>Solitary Mouth Ulcers:<\/h2>\n<p>A solitary <a href=\"http:\/\/www.askdrshah.com\/ulcers-in-mouth.aspx\">mouth ulcer<\/a> is most probably due to an injury to oral mucous lining caused by accidental biting of cheeks or tongue, mechanical injury due to dental braces, chewing or biting hard food or thermal injury caused to oral mucosa by excessively hot drinks etc. Solitary mouth ulcers mostly heal on their own unless there is cancerous pathology causing them.<\/p>\n<h2>Causes of Recurrent Ulcers in the Mouth:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deficiency of Vitamin B12<\/strong> in vegetarians<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another nutritional deficiency is Iron deficiency anaemia which is frequently found in Indian women<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stress and anxiety<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hormonal changes<\/strong> during every menstrual cycle are triggers for some women<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sensitivity<\/strong> to particular food like coffee or cheese<\/li>\n<li>Some painkiller <strong>medications<\/strong> like Ibuprofen or Aspirin, or certain heart medications like Beta &#8211; blocker drugs or Nicorandil<\/li>\n<li>When a <strong>chronic smoker<\/strong> stops smoking, due to chemical changes taking place in body after quitting. They start healing on their own as one\u2019s body adapts to this new healthy habit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Infections causing ulcers:<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes recurrent mouth ulcers are infective in origin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fungal:<\/strong> Oral thrush is one such infection of oral cavity caused by a fungus &#8211; Candida Albicans. It leads to white plaque like lesions in mouth, inside of cheeks, on soft palate, tongue and even on tonsils.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Viral:<\/strong> Another infective disease causing oral ulcerations is Herpes Simplex Virus 1 or Human Herpes Virus 8 (usually associated with Kaposi\u2019s Sarcoma). Although very rare, oral ulcerations may be caused bycoxsackie virus. Persons infected with HIV may also get recurrent apthous ulcers as a result of weak immune system due to Herpes Simplex Virus 1.<\/p>\n<h2>Serious medical conditions causing ulcers:<\/h2>\n<p>If there are persistent white streaks lining the tongue and inside of cheeks and on gums which looks like oral ulcers and is associated with burning pain it can be <strong>Lichen planus<\/strong> affecting oral cavity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Radiation and chemotherapy for cancer <\/strong>of oral cavity or throat damage the oral mucosa and decrease body\u2019s immune.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autoimmune disorders<\/strong> (diseases caused when immune system reacts against one\u2019s own body) like Coeliac\u2019s disease or Behcet\u2019s disease, Reiter\u2019s syndrome, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Kawasaki disease cause recurrent ulcers directly or by affecting intake of vitamins and other nutrients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crohn\u2019s disease<\/strong> which is an Inflammatory Bowel disease can affect lining of gut wherein linear deep ulcers are caused. Crohn\u2019s disease also affects nutrient absorption from gut.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cancer of oral cavity<\/strong> can present itself as a non-healing and painless ulcer which is slowly increasing in size.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment of mouth ulcers requires correction of the underlying condition or deficiencies if any. When a person has nutritional deficiencies, homoeopathic medicines along with dietary corrections and vitamin supplements can improve gut absorption of vitamins, iron and other minerals<\/p>\n<p>Homoeopathic treatment can also be used to improve immune resistance. Homoeopathic medicines also help manage stress and anxiety better and thus can control stress- related recurrent mouth ulcers.
