I'm dealing with a really stubborn mouth ulcer that hasn't healed in three days. I've been taking B complex tablets twice a day and using zytee gel on it, but there's no improvement. Can you help me figure out what's going on or what else I can do?

Given your symptoms, here's a suggested order of specialists to consult:

Initial Consultation

General Physician: Start with a general physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the pain.

Specialized Consultation 2. Orthopedist: If the general physician suspects a musculoskeletal issue, consult an orthopedist. They can assess and address potential issues with your bones, joints, or muscles.

Alternative or Additional Therapy 3. Physiotherapist: A physiotherapist can help with pain management, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles. They can be consulted in conjunction with an orthopedist or as a follow-up appointment.

Pain Specialist (Optional) 4. Pain Specialist: If your pain persists and is severe, you may want to consult a pain specialist. They can help manage chronic pain and develop a customized treatment plan.

My teeth have totally yellow stains on every single one is this something that can be cleaned off or would I need cosmetic treatments like veneers or bonding to fix it

If stains are superficial, cleaning may help; deeper discoloration often requires veneers, bonding, or whitening treatments.
