Overview
Mouth Ulcer Treatments
Mouth ulcers are painful sores that appear on the inside of the mouth, on the tongue, lips, cheeks or gums. They are usually round or oval with a white or yellowish centre and a red border. Most mouth ulcers are minor, heal on their own within one to two weeks, and are not a sign of anything serious. However, the pain can make eating, drinking and talking uncomfortable.
Over-the-counter gels and liquids can help relieve pain, protect the ulcer and speed up healing. Cloud Pharmacy stocks mouth ulcer treatments from trusted brands including Anbesol and Bonjela.
