*** mouth ulcers advice ***?

Question

Hi :)

I have had this anoying & painful mouth ulcers for 2 weeks now.
It's located on/under the tongue and gums.
2 Days ago I went to the Dr. and he diagnosed it as Aphthous Stomatitis. I think it's getting worse. I tried this Oracort E cream but it's hard to target the many aphthas. I also started using mouth washes & salty water. It is not suggested to consume salty food, so how is salty water good? I am not sure if it is helpful since it stings and makes the white sores more noticeable.

What are some good suggestions to help cure this problem?

I am desperate & depressed... also I have read that 2 weeks should have fixed the problem...

Thanks for your help

Oh you poor thing! I used to get mouth ulcers a lot, but usually only one at a time. One time I had two and I was dying!

Here are some things I did to help ease the pain and make them go away faster:

Don't eat or drink anything salty, spicy, or acidic -- if you can help it. The acid is especially bad, and it is was caused my mouth ulcers most of the time (I drank a lot of citrus drinks).

The best medicine I ever found for them was called Zilactin-B. It is wondrous! You just dry out the ulcer for a few seconds, then dab on some of the medicine and let it dry. It forms a little band-aid over the ulcer. Medicine on the inside, and a protective covering on the outside. Immediately after I put that on, I would be able to close my mouth and the ulcer wouldn't be bothered by my teeth. The medicine stings a bit when you first put it on, but it is so worth it!!

It will last for hours, plus it is soothing. I always put it on about 5 minutes before I eat so it has a fresh new band-aid on it.

I always read that the mouth ulcers can take 2 weeks to heal (or more), but once I started this regimen, they were gone within a week.

Hope this helps!

Put hidrogen proxide in a empty nasal spray botle and spray your mouth evry 1-3 hours and in less then 72 hours you will not have that problem any more ( and dont use anything else but this, trust me it works like a charm)
