Oral ulcers are painful sores that appear in the mouth. Most of them are usually harmless and clear up on their own. Sometimes, they are non-responsive and difficult to manage. This report describes the case of an 80-year-old female patient with chronic oral ulcers of three years duration and which were refractory to conventional therapy. The ulcers were subsequently treated using 3% citric acid as a sole topical agent, applied three times a day that resulted in complete healing of oral ulcers by day 10 of treatment. The findings of this case report suggest that topical citric acid is a possible alternative treatment for chronic oral ulcers unresponsive to conventional treatment.
口腔溃疡是出现在口腔内的疼痛性溃疡。大多数口腔溃疡通常无害，可自行愈合。有时，它们无反应且难以处理。本报告描述了一名80岁女性患者的病例，其患有持续三年的慢性口腔溃疡，对传统治疗无效。随后使用3%柠檬酸作为唯一的局部用药进行治疗，每天涂抹三次，在治疗第10天时口腔溃疡完全愈合。本病例报告的结果表明，局部使用柠檬酸可能是治疗对传统治疗无反应的慢性口腔溃疡的一种替代疗法。
