A mouth ulcer is a common condition that usually heals within 1–2 weeks. However, a persistent mouth ulcer that does not heal within three weeks should not be ignored. Most mouth ulcers are harmless (often called canker sores or aphthous ulcers) and usually heal on their own within 7–14 days, but a sore that doesn’t heal could be a sign of an underlying condition that needs medical attention.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is one of the most aggressive cancers of the blood and bone marrow characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal myeloid cells. These abnormal cells interfere with the production of healthy blood cells, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, recurrent infections, fever, easy bruising, bleeding, and weight loss. AML can occur at any age but is more commonly diagnosed in older adults.
