Gentle, thorough oral hygiene may relieve some of the symptoms.

Painful Ulcers: In this case boils appear inside the mouth and cause a burning sensation. The rotten part separates. They seem to be normal boils in the beginning stage but slowly increase in size. This causes painful cough and symptoms of fever. Tridosha Ulcers: The symptoms of vata, pitta and kapha are seen in these cases. Ulcers with bad odour: The ulcers produce a very bad smell. In yet another type: The ulcers pop up and break, the face is like pulp. One type of ulcer is considered to be due to tridosha. In this case a round and high tumor appears, which causes pain. Besides the above, mouth ulcers appearing in the throat are considered to be different. In that case there are small protrudings of the flesh in the throat. A few are deep, full of pus with severe needle like pain. Some lead to pain in the throat and swelling and cause sore a throat. Sometimes the patient has a mild fever. Therefore the patient experiences symptoms of swelling, sprouts, ripe tongue or dryness of the tongue. The tongue problems are also mouth related problems. The symptoms are different for these six types of ulcers. If it is due to vata then the tongue cracks and becomes rough. If it is due to pitta, the tongue becomes yellow, there is a burning sensation and reddish spike like formation. If the ulcers are the result of kapha, the, tongue has thorn-like things appearing. In another type, the kapha and blood generated ulcers, kapha and blood problems lead to a bent and painful tongue and saliva is secreted along with itching and burning sensation. A hole is formed in the cheeks and a boil comes out and, spreading quickly. These decay and produce a bad smell. The patient has a fever, cough, a burning sensation in the lungs and dysentery. This disease is common among children in the age group of 3 to 6 years. In yet another type of mouth ulcer the symptoms are similar to the one caused due to kapha. The tongue has a white coating and mucous like thing. First whitish boils appear on the tongue, which increase in size and reach the base, tongue and throat, Then they join together. Sometimes the child patient has a mild fever, loose motions and vomiting, but saliva is not secreted. According to the specialists this is common among children when they drink polluted milk. The children who drink outside milk also suffer from this disease because the milk bottle is generally not cleaned properly; bacteria gets accumulated and reaches the child's mouth through this contamination. Normally, mouth ulcers are caused due to constipation, if a child is prevented from getting this problem then it protects him from mouth ulcers. In case the disease is caused, ayurvedic medicines for curing the digestive system should be given. General types of problems can be cured with external remedies. Therefore it would be better to divide them into two parts depending on the type of medicine used.
