  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2000/0701/p149.html

  Aphthous ulcers are a common and painful problem. […] The lack of clarity regarding the etiology of aphthous ulcers has resulted in treatments that are largely empiric. These treatments include antibiotics, antiinflammatories, immune modulators, anesthetics and alternative (herbal) remedies. […] Treatment for oral aphthae can be divided into five categories: antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, immune modulatory, symptomatic and alternative. […] Topical and systemic antibiotic treatments are empiric and are used because of a belief that some as-yet-undiscovered infectious agent is causing the aphthous ulcer. […] Local anti-inflammatory agents may be the most helpful way to speed healing and relieve symptoms in the management of recurrent minor aphthous ulcers. […] Immune modulators used for the management of aphthous ulcers have been investigated most thoroughly in patients infected with HIV.

  Topical corticosteroids (TCs) remain the mainstays of treatment. A spectrum of different TCs can be used. At best, TCs reduce painful symptoms but not the rate of ulcer recurrence. […] For severe cases of RAS or those that are unresponsive to topical treatments, systemic medications such as oral corticosteroids (eg, prednisone) may be used. Additionally, drugs like colchicine, dapsone, or immunosuppressive agents may be considered for patients with recurrent or complicated RAS. […] Oral vitamin B-12 may significantly reduce or eliminate RAS recurrences. […] Many medications that have been historically suggested for the treatment of RAS have not been studied sufficiently enough to allow consistent, evidence-based recommendations to be provided. […] Laser therapy has shown promising effects in studies, particularly for symptom relief and recurrence prevention, yet these findings mainly pertain to small-scale or short-term trials. Indeed, more robust research is needed to firmly establish the efficacy and safety of many RAS treatments.
