Recurring Ulcers in Mouth01/20/2011 |
Hi I get frequent painful ulcers in my mouth that seem to take forever to heal. They generally last for 2 weeks or more. I`ve mentioned this to my dr but she doesn`t seem to be concerned however I`ve always heard that mouth ulcers lasting more than a week is a sign of something more serious...Is this true? If so what kind of dr to I need to see about this?
Already healed ulcers might not be concerning. But if anything persists more than two weeks, or if these chronic ulcer problems continue, I recommend you to be seen by an ENT or oral surgeon. Thanks.
