Have a query?

I've had mouth ulcers for the past two days.

Asked by Female, 25 · 1 month ago

Mouth ulcers for 2 days are usually minor and can occur due to stress, spicy food, or accidental cheek bites. They often heal on their own within a week, so you can use warm saltwater rinses. If the ulcers are very painful, large, or last more than 1?2 weeks, it?s better to consult a doctor.

I understand you've been experiencing mouth ulcers for the past two days.

⚕️ What this likely is

  • Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful lesions that develop in the mouth or at the base of the gums.
  • They can cause discomfort while eating, drinking, and talking.
  • Typically, these ulcers heal within a few weeks and are not contagious.

💊 Medications

  • Zytee L Gel is a combination medicine containing benzalkonium chloride (antibacterial), choline salicylate (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), and lignocaine hydrochloride (local anaesthetic).
  • It is used for the treatment of mouth ulcers and inflammation in the middle part of the throat (oropharynx).
  • Benzalkonium chloride prevents secondary infections, choline salicylate relieves pain and swelling, and lignocaine hydrochloride decreases pain sensation.

⚠️ Precautions

  • Avoid contact of Zytee L Gel with your nose, ears, or eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Using Zytee L Gel in large amounts or for a longer time than advised may increase the risk of side effects.
