Abstract:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has spread globally. Vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is anticipated to reduce morbidity and mortality. However, the safety of vaccines against COVID-19 is a cause for concern and uncertainty, which leads to vaccine hesitancy. There have been some self-reported questionnaire studies regarding adverse effects after COVID-19 vaccination; however, adverse effects on the oral region are rare. In this report, we present one case of ulcers arising on the bilateral palate mucosa following COVID-19 vaccination, which was suspected to be an adverse effect of vaccination.

Drugs for Peptic Ulcer Disease: Sucralfate as Mucosal Protective Agents
In this scenario, mucosal protective agents like sucralfate play an essential role. Sucralfate, a complex of sulfated sucrose and aluminum hydroxide, demonstrates its usefulness in acidic conditions,...
Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.
Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
