    • Lesions can recur and persist for up to six weeks.
    • Differential diagnosis includes herpesvirus infections and herpangina.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore potential treatments for aphthous ulcers.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of levamisole in managing recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on aphthous ulcer etiology and treatments.
    • Clinical observation of levamisole's effects on aphthous ulcers.

    Main Results:

    • No single treatment has been uniformly successful for aphthous ulcers.
