What Causes Mouth and Throat Ulcers?
Disease description:
Last week, my grandfather experienced a sore throat, apparently caused by oral and pharyngeal ulcers. What exactly are oral and pharyngeal ulcers?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Liwen
Oral and pharyngeal ulcers may result from vitamin deficiencies or compromised immune function. Given the relatively slow healing process of oral ulcers, patients are advised to promptly consult a dentist or oral medicine specialist for evaluation. During treatment, patients should maintain good oral hygiene and avoid consuming excessively hot, spicy, or highly irritating foods.
