I'm noticing a white, bulging ulcer-like thing in my mouth. It's positioned at the lower backside of my lips and has been there for two weeks. It's not causing any pain or showing redness around it. I'm a bit concerned about what this could be and wondering what steps I should take. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I'm a bit concerned because lately, people sleeping near me have been telling me that I grind my teeth while I'm asleep. It's strange because Im not aware of it at all and it doesnt happen when Im awake. What could be causing this?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be pregnant. The vibrations in your stomach could be early fetal movement, although it's unlikely to feel movement this early. To confirm, take a home pregnancy test or consult your gynecologist for a blood test and further guidance. In the meantime, ensure you're getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated.

I've been dealing with some painful mouth ulcers and even have one on my tongue. Should I be taking rinifol tablets for this, or would a B complex supplement be more effective? I'm not sure which one would be better to try first and want to make sure I'm on the right track. What would you recommend?

Rinifol tablets, containing vitamin B complex, folic acid, and iron, can help with mouth ulcers and tongue ulcers, especially if caused by nutritional deficiencies
