Patient: Hi, I am a mother of a 2yr old girl and she is getting recurrent canker sores(usually on the inside of the lips near the gums and on the corners, not sure abt the rest of the mouth she never allows me to have a peek into her mouth).Its been almost a yr now and the same problem persists.I dont know wat to do...how can i relieve her from this pain.No medication has shown any fruitfull results and the same problem comes again within days.She has become so weak now...Although she is very active but she is unable to eat anything the way she used to.Please guide me through this in detail. Doctor: Hi,  Thanks  for  posting  the query,  Canker  sores  occurs  due  to  physical  or  chemical  trauma . Visit  to  a  Pedodontist  and  get  clinical   evaluation  done  ,  look  for  any  sharp  tooth  causing  irritation .  Apply  dologel  oral  ointment  topically  over  the  affected  area. Take  vitamin suplements. Maintain  a  good  oral  hygiene ,  clean  the  mouth  with  antiseptic  solution  using  handkerchief  or  cotton this  will  prevent  infection  and  promote  healing .  Hope  this  helps  out.  Regards..
