I am suffering from Apthous ulcer in right side cheek. The lesion is about 7mm long. My dentist Rxed me BecosuleZ Cap 1 OD, Antoxid Cap 1 BD, and Tess mouthpaste t.i.d.for local application. No antibiotic was given. I have been taking the above dose for last ten days, and the lesion has still not disappeared. By the way, I was a habitual tobacco chewer=Pan masala addict. for last 25 years. For the last ten days my tobacco consumption has gone drastically down,limiting myself to 4 or 5 times in 24 hours. Without tobacco, my head & concentration wavers,and I feel irritated. My family says,taper off and leave tobacco gradually.I am trying to stop tobacco fully. From today a chemist friend advised me to take Rebagen [ Rebamipide 100mg] of Macleods Pharmaceutical, in doase 1 b.d. plus local application of paste of Laxanox [Amlexanox Oral Paste 5%] twice daily, for 5 days. I have added this regime also. Please advice if this is the correct therapy or I should go for a biopsy to rule out sub-cutaneous fibrosis or anything more severe. I shall be obliged for your response. I am a Indian male, aged 59. weight 98kg with normal health. Thank You. CSTewari. Uttar Pradesh.
Hello, Thanks for sharing your concern with us. The best thing to do before brushing or eating is to rinse with warm salt water. (1/2 tsp. Salt with 10 oz warm water).
