Abstract

Aphthous ulcers are a common and debilitating oral health issue, often accompanied by severe pain, inflammation, and difficulty with eating and drinking. These ulcers often persist despite conventional treatment, but homeopathic medicine offers a valuable alternative. A 26-year-old female patient presented with severe aphthous ulcers, characterised by intense pain, bleeding, and increased salivation, which worsened with eating and drinking but improved with cold water and ice cream. Merc Cor was prescribed based on her unique symptoms, leading to an improvement within 24 hours and complete resolution within 3 days. The patient experienced significant reduction in ulcer severity and frequency, with comfortable eating and drinking. This case study highlights the effectiveness of individualised homeopathic medicine in treating aphthous ulcers, emphasising the importance of identifying key symptoms in homeopathic practice.
