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

I got referred to the hospital from the dentist. there is some special stuff they can give you but they need to rule out anything serious :y

rinstead pastiles....and they do work but taste rank... :y

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?

It does taste good, Aaron........but I can never get it to stay where I put it. Slimy little bastard. ;D ;D ;)

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.

I've been called worse.. :'( :'( :'( ;D

Mouth wash with vinegar :y
-
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.

He hates tomatoes, saying that though, chocolate aggravates it.

Too much salt puts me in the chunder zone ;D

Might be worth giving up that for a month to prove. Once you know the problem, you're over halfway there.
I still eat tomatos, but know they will screw me...

A little better than Bonjella is stuff called Anbesol :y
Tastes bad but really does help things along
-
Used to be able to get some great tablets that you let disolve on the buggers, hurt like you wouldn't believe, but cured it in 36hrs.
Said tablets were banned, and replacements were hopeless.

Good stuff :y

trust me on the lettuce thing though it really does work, get him to chew it up and hold it against the ulcers, he can spit it out or eat it but it needs to be there for at least 30seconds to 1 minutes
-

That works? He is genuinely in pain, but refuses to take anything >:(
