Online consultation for mouth ulcers
Most mouth ulcers are aphthous ulcers: small, painful and gone in one to two weeks. When they keep coming back, low B12, iron or folate, stress, a sharp tooth or some medicines are common causes. One ulcer that has not healed in three weeks, especially in someone who uses tobacco, must be examined in person.
An online consult can help with
- Painful ulcers that keep coming back
- Ulcers that make eating or drinking hard
- Checking for vitamin or iron deficiency
- Ulcers after starting a new medicine
- A burning or sore mouth
See a doctor in person if
- Trouble breathing, chest pain, fainting, confusion or a seizure: go to the nearest emergency department or call 108.
- One ulcer, lump or white or red patch that has not healed in three weeks: see a doctor or dentist in person this week
- Mouth sores with skin blisters, peeling, or sore red eyes, especially after a new medicine
- Unable to drink, or passing very little urine
- Ulcers with high fever and feeling very unwell
- Ulcers on the genitals as well as in the mouth
