I keep getting ulcers in my mouth, what is causing them and what medication should i take?

August 10th, 2012
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if you could maybe advice me on what medication to get with my problem. I have recently been getting a lot of ulcers on my gums and tongue. It’s really sore and they don’t seem to be healing very quickly, new ones keep popping up regularly. I have just started a new job which involves night shifts so my sleep pattern has altered, could this be the cause or is it a bigger problem? Thanks Ian!

Q.

Hello Jose. I have an embarrassing problem. I’m a 19 year old girl. My gums have always bled slightly when brushing but recently ive developed about 5 mouth ulcers, 1 on my lip about 1cm! its too painful to talk sometimes. I brush but im put off my appetite and can taste what feels like disgusting breath. i dont know if this is consequent to my ulcers but my teeth are aching a little too. also, maybe it is relevant to tell you that i am on the contraceptive pill and i have a hormonal deficiency. Darent talk to anyone about this! Thanks
