My mom's been dealing with these mouth ulcers for about a year now, and we've tried a bunch of medicines and gels, but nothing seems to work. Those white patches just heal and then pop up somewhere else, and it really burns when she's eating. We've consulted several doctors, and they've said it might never cure. Is there any permanent solution for this? It's been really tough seeing her go through this.
