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.

I'm really worried. A couple of days ago, I accidentally hit my wife on her right cheek, and now her jaw on that side is swollen. It was starting to get better, and she didn't have any pain for about two weeks. But suddenly, yesterday, she's in a lot of pain again, and the swelling has increased. Should we see a dentist, or would a regular doctor be better for this?

visit a surgeon it would be better

I've been dealing with a toothache for the past couple of days. There's a cavity, and it's been really painful, especially since this evening. I can't even drink cold water because it hurts so much. Can you suggest something that might help?

-You can try rinsing with warm salt water to reduce pain and inflammation. Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek may also help numb the area. However, it's best to see a dentist soon to get the cavity treated.
