An abscess is a 3-5 mm sore in the oral mucosa and occasionally in the abdomen that heals on its own within 1-2 weeks.
Some people get a small ulcer now and then, while others have frequent episodes of several ulcers at the same time.
Enema is common in children and young adults.
The cause of mucosal ulcers is unknown and probably multifactorial.
The immune response in the mucosa seems to be slightly out of balance, but common aftertaste is not linked to disease.
There is no basis for allergy as the cause.
Biting the mucous membrane can trigger mucosal ulcers in some people.
Some have family history on mucosal ulcers.
Most people do not need any treatment. Good oral hygiene is recommended and at the same time avoid damaging the mucous membrane.
Use a soft toothbrush and toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), eg Zendium or Denivit.
In the case of pronounced complaints, an examination by a doctor is recommended.
Sometimes the doctor will consider Xylocain gel, cortisone ointment or even tablet treatment.
There are also over-the-counter remedies that can possibly shorten the course, two examples are Oralmedic and Aftamed.
Problems with aftertaste usually calm down over the years.
