Patient's question:
My young nephew has been complaining about mouth pain for the past two days and hasn't been eating his dinner properly. When I had him open his mouth, I noticed a sore on the inside of his cheek. Despite taking many medications for mouth sores, they haven't disappeared or improved, and they keep recurring. So, I took my nephew to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it's Beh?et's disease. I want to know what Beh?et's disease is?Doctor's answer:
This is Behcet's disease, which is an immune system disorder of the body. It can affect multiple organs or systems throughout the body, leading to recurrent ulcers in various locations, such as recurrent oral ulcers, perineal ulcers, small intestinal or colon ulcers, esophageal ulcers, etc. It is a disease that affects the eyes, joints, blood vessels, and nervous system. The main treatment method is medication, requiring immune regulation to be implemented.
