Mouth Ulcer Not Healing? Here’s When to Take It Seriously
Most mouth ulcers heal within a few days.

But if an ulcer doesn’t improve even after 2 weeks, it should not be ignored.

Sometimes, a non-healing ulcer can be a sign that needs proper medical evaluation.
You should consult a specialist if:
• The ulcer lasts more than 2 weeks
• It keeps coming back
• There is pain, bleeding, or patches
• Eating or speaking becomes uncomfortable

Getting checked early helps in identifying the cause and planning the right treatment.

Watch for these signs:
• Swelling or lump in the front of the neck
• Difficulty swallowing
• Change in voice
• Feeling of pressure in the neck

Early diagnosis helps in identifying the cause and planning the right treatment.
