my son was recently diagnosed with connective tissue disorder which are multilple ulcers on the inside of his mouth and on his tongue.he was given a steroid mouth rinse to help with the healing.he gets around 4 to 5 of these ulcers at a time.what are some things he can try and this was an oral dentist that told him this.what type of medical expert do we need to consult that would better be able to assist in this matter
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Mouth ulcers are usually painful and hinder the eating capacity of the person. If I were having a patient with these ulcers, I would advise him to continue using the steroid mouth wash. Application of denote/McCoppin ointment on the ulcers two or three times a day till the symptoms subside. Avoid spicy food. Avoid stress. Multivitamins on prescription from his doctor will be helpful to boost his immunity levels. Also, treatment of the connective tissue disorder should be done on priority. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
