Mouth ulcer in a 4-year-old is usually common and due to cheek bite, minor infection, or vitamin deficiency. It typically heals in 7–10 days.
Give soft, non-spicy foods, plenty of fluids, and maintain gentle oral hygiene. Use dologel ct or anabel ct 3 times a day with a cotton bud on concerned area rinse the mouth before having food

Get your visit with pediatric dentist and after examination dentist will tell you what to do ..
As site and cause is important for ulcer so diminishing the cause and proper medicine is recommended by your kids dentist. Plus many times we don’t give any ointment rather force proper diet and local application of some smoothing Pediatric ointments for kid

Hi
I am a pediatric dentist(child specialist dentist). I suggest you to use anabele gel instead and apply it using an earbud. Also give the child Vit B12 capsules once a day for 2 weeks. Pls check if the ulcer is due to biting of that area or was the ulcer accompanied with fever. If it recurrs pls get back to me.

Dentogel contains choline salicylate + lidocaine (local anaesthetic)which is generally not recommended for children.
There is also risk of swallowing and numbness, which can lead to choking or accidental burns while eating.
Next Steps
you can use Dologel CT for kids. Use small amount, 2to 3 times a day.

Hello
Usually gels are not advised in kids. For ulcers in kids you can apply homemade ghee/ honey so that child gets some soothing effect
