Mouth ulcers
« on: 27 March 2012, 18:09:53 »
What will get rid of mouth ulcers, my youngest boy suffers something chronic, he flatly refuses to take medication because he says "makes it worse in the morning", bonjela really doesn't touch it, salt water he refuses because he tried it before and it made no difference (I'll stick up for him on that too). Any ideas?

Not really sure what works, Del. I agree that Bonjela is a waste of time. Total crap.

I used to get them quite often as a child, not alot you can do I'm afraid, they tend to go away on their own. This NHS site might help

You take that back, Bonjela is great. If nothing else it tastes wonderful! I could eat it...  :-X :-[ ;D

Sorry Del, no advice other than the things that have already been tried - salt water, Bonjela.. perhaps medicated mouthwash? Oraldene and the like?

Daft Q, does he get them after eating tomatoes?  I assumed I always just suffered, but somebody pointed out it was an allergy, and they were right. If I eat a tomato, I get a gob full of them.

chewing lettuce and leaving them against the affected areas is one of the best natural cures. but if he is constantly getting issues may be worth seeing a GP or dentist to find the source of the problem :y

I personally use salt.  Doesn't cure them, and hurts like buggery, but numbs it for a few hours. Mind you, makes me dribble as well ;D

Yep agree with the salt idea. I used to get them after eating pineapple. So stopped eating it for probably 20 years and hey presto no more ulcers. Just started eating pineapple again as part of my "5 a day"  ::) and so far no problems. Hopefully grown out of it.

Lick finger dip in salt and apply to ulcer, def hurt like hell. Repeat every 5 mnutes untill pain so bad, and taste so bad and hopefully gone in the morning. It worked for me.
