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.

View allI've been really diligent about brushing my teeth twice a day and using a tongue scraper every day to clean off my tongue. But, the problem is that no matter what I do, the white stuff on my tongue comes back within a day. It's frustrating. Do you have any advice or recommendations for products that might actually help? The scraper isn't doing much and just ends up hurting my tongue.
Typically, growth plates in bones close after puberty, limiting significant height growth. However, some minor growth (about 1-2 cm or 0.4-0.8 in) is possible until age 25. To potentially maximize residual growth: 1. *Hormone regulation*: Ensure balanced hormone levels, particularly growth hormone and thyroid hormone. 2. *Nutrition and diet*: Focus on a balanced diet rich in: - Protein (essential for growth) - Calcium and vitamin D (crucial for bone health) - Zinc, magnesium, and other minerals 3. *Exercise regularly*: Incorporate exercises that promote bone density and growth, such as: - Stretching and flexibility exercises - Weight-bearing exercises (e.g., walking, jogging, cycling) - Resistance training (e.g., weightlifting) 4. *Get adequate sleep*: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to support growth hormone production. 5. *Manage stress*: High stress levels can negatively impact growth hormone production. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation or yoga. 6. *Avoid smoking and excessive drinking*: These habits can harm overall health and potentially limit growth.
