Hi my daughter has had ulcers on gums off and on for years now some look white and others look red she is now 12.  Now my 6 year old son has them. Is it something that i should really worry about? They do forget to brush their teeth every once in a while. Thanks
Hello and welcome. Please do not worry about oral ulcers. They do come on and off. It only shows that there is deficiency of vitamin B in your child Chat Doctor. Please give them supplements containing vitamin B and also diet rich in vitamins and minerals at this growing age group. Few of the dietary items that can be included in their diet are green leafy vegetables, eggs,meat, fish, dals, soyabean and milk and milk products. For now, they can apply colonel on the affected areas, before and after food for a week. Wish them good health. Thanks. Take care.
