Viral infections are common in the climatic conditions as we are facing in the months of July - august where sudden changes of temperature lead to the reactivation of latent viruses in the human body. Viruses commonly affecting the oral cavity are herpes group which can cause oral ulcers which may be multiple and with intense pain.

So, first, try to avoid extereme of temperature so as to prevent the disease. if the ulcers have developed, then try to consult an oral physician as if medicines started within 3 days of initiation of infection, they are most effective in controlling the disease. If after 3 days, you can keep yourself well hydrated and have bland food preferably semisolid and meet the oral physician for further management.
