The fastest methods for treating oral ulcers mainly include the following:

1. Topical medications: Using local anesthetics such as benzocaine gel or lidocaine can quickly relieve pain caused by oral ulcers. Additionally, cetylpyridinium chloride tablets have antibacterial and astringent effects, helping to reduce inflammation.

2. Vitamin therapy: Grinding vitamin B2 or vitamin C into powder and applying it directly onto the ulcer surface promotes cell regeneration and accelerates the healing process. Particularly with vitamin B2 and C, applying several times daily can significantly reduce pain and promote ulcer recovery.

3. Honey or honey solution therapy: Rinsing the mouth with 10% honey solution or using pure honey can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote cell regeneration. Repeating this several times daily effectively shortens the duration of oral ulcers.

If in doubt, please consult a healthcare professional.
