What should I do for mouth ulcers and a sore throat?
Disease description:
My boyfriend has a sore throat and also has a mouth ulcer—could the mouth ulcer be causing his sore throat?
If symptoms such as oral ulcers or sore throat occur, patients may seek treatment at the Department of Stomatology or the Department of Oral Mucosal Diseases in a hospital, or undergo evaluation at the Department of Otolaryngology. Compound chlorhexidine mouthwash can be used to alleviate pain associated with oral ulcers and sore throat. If ulcers also develop in the soft tissues of the pharynx—beyond the buccal mucosa, tongue, and palate—and cause pharyngeal erythema and swelling, topical application of medications such as Kangfuxin Liquid or Jinhoujian Spray may be employed to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
