Dr. Zhang Lei
Recurrent oral ulcers may result from deficiencies in vitamin C, vitamin B6, or vitamin B2. Patients can visit a hospital for trace element testing to determine the underlying cause. In daily life, it is advisable to consume more foods rich in vitamins. Additionally, maintaining a regular sleep schedule and avoiding prolonged late-night activity is essential.
