What medicine does recurrent aphthous stomatitis take?

In local treatment, glucocorticoid is still the most commonly used method. Different potency of glucocorticoids can be used to reduce symptoms, but can not prevent the recurrence of ulcer. Long term use of glucocorticoid can produce epinephrine inhibition, so we should pay attention to monitoring the repeated infection of yeast.

For intractable ulcers, systemic corticosteroids should be given, including intralesional injection of corticosteroids such as betamethasone, dexamethasone or fluorohydroprednisone, to improve local response, but to minimize systemic treatment time. Levamisole may be effective because it has a wide range of immunostimulatory effects, and 100-150ml of levamisole daily for 2-3 months is effective.

The possible side effect of the drug is the decrease of white blood cell count. When the patient has severe ulcer, thalidomide can be considered for treatment, which has strong immunoregulation and inhibition of angiogenesis. 200 mg thalidomide for 4 weeks can be cured completely, and its side effects include fetal teratogenesis, multiple neuropathy and emotional changes.
