How to Treat Recurrent Aphthous Ulcers
Disease description:
A few days ago, I experienced severe mouth pain—especially upon waking up, when I could barely open my mouth. After examination, the doctor diagnosed me with recurrent aphthous ulcers. I would like to know how recurrent aphthous ulcers are treated.

For recurrent oral ulcers, topical medications such as Xile Powder, Bingpeng Powder, and Furacilin paste are commonly used for treatment. Patients may rinse their mouths with Kangfuxin Liquid and concurrently use immunomodulators—such as transfer factor and thymosin—to prolong the interval between ulcer recurrences. In daily life, patients should maintain good oral hygiene (e.g., using antibacterial mouthwash), follow a balanced diet, and ensure regular rest, all of which help enhance overall immune resistance.
