This guide lists homeopathic medicines that are commonly considered for mouth ulcers, along with the symptom picture usually associated with each one.

About mouth ulcers
Mouth ulcers (aphthous ulcers or canker sores) are small, round or oval, painful sores with a white or yellow centre and a red edge, found on the inner cheeks, lips, tongue or gums. A single ulcer usually heals within one to two weeks. Common triggers are biting the cheek, rough brushing or dental appliances, stress, spicy or acidic foods, hormonal changes, deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12 or folate, and certain medicines. Frequent or severe ulcers can accompany coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease and some other conditions. A soft toothbrush, a warm salt-water rinse, avoiding hot, spicy and sharp foods, and treating any deficiency help. See a doctor or dentist if an ulcer lasts more than three weeks, is unusually large, keeps recurring, comes with fever or genital ulcers, makes eating difficult, or appears as a red or white patch, especially in tobacco users, because persistent mouth ulcers can occasionally be a sign of oral cancer.
