Aphthous Ulcer: A Case Report
Description
Mouth ulcers are quite common in all age groups. They can be linked to several conditions such as
simple injury due to acute trauma or due to a sharp tooth or to an autoimmune disease. There are several
medications available on the market to treat mouth ulcers. But do we need to prescribe a medication
every time? This report presents a case of a 34-year-old male who presented with an ulcer in the palate
and was treated without a prescription.
