What is the treatment for apthous ulcers?

Aphthous ulcers, or canker sores, can be treated with topical medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and pain. Over-the-counter treatments, like topical analgesics and antiseptic mouthwashes, can also provide relief. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding irritating foods may help prevent recurrence. In severe cases, a healthcare provider may prescribe stronger medications or evaluate for underlying conditions.
