What Does an Ulcer Feel Like?

8. Treatment for Oral Ulcers
Oral ulcers generally heal within two weeks and generally don’t require treatment. However, if the oral ulcers continue for more than two weeks, are painful, or become deep lesions, it is necessary to pay your doctor a visit. Your doctor will prescribe an antimicrobial mouthwash or ointment to relieve the pain and aid healing.
If the condition continues, a biopsy and other investigations may be required. You may receive other systemic treatments for the underlying cause first before treating oral ulcers.
