Aphthous Ulcers

"Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis"


Aphthous Ulcers are sore;
I pray it not to bother more,
It is fond of children and teens,
But, may not leave the old by any means !

It is minor and major like us,
And waxing and waning like the moon !
It comes with a warning of pain,
And stays a week to push you to vain.

Do what you may it refuses not to return,
Till it taught you a deadly lesson !
And finally it helped us how to learn; 
And live without anxious concern.

A minor trauma by tooth bite,
Kills our mind-body being so quite.
Prevention is better than cure;
But here we are not so sure.

Tetracycline mouthwash may prempt;
But, Benzydamine may reduce pain;
Topical LA can be used, 
To eat and talk and shout amused.

It educates and prepares us to deal with severely morbid states -
As it strengthens our immunity to fight lethal cancerous ulcer states.
By having learnt to deal with emotional stress.

Avoid Stress and Be Blessed 🙌
