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

I've been getting this small white pearl-like lump on the roof of my mouth. It seems to come and go, sometimes pretty quickly, and other times it keeps popping up. I'm wondering if this is something to worry about or if it's a common thing. Any idea what it might be?

I've hurt the inside of my mouth while brushing my teeth and it's been really painful for about three days now. It's started affecting my teeth because of an ulcer. What can I do to help with the pain? I'm really struggling with this.

You may have developed a mouth ulcer due to the injury. To help with the pain and promote healing, you can use a topical oral gel containing Choline Salicylate and Cetalkonium Chloride. Apply the gel directly to the ulcer 3-4 times a day after meals and at bedtime. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg tablets as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the ulcer.
