Mouth ulcer home remedies

[Colinjb]

Any ideas? It feels like the back of my mouth is under seige.

 

I've already tried:

 

Salt directly applied. Burns like a b*tch, usually works but this is a large one (3/4 the size of my index finger nail) and it seems to shake it off.

Alcohol, well; Whiskey. Numbs it, but then it comes back with a vengeance.

 

I need more ideas, I want this little motherf*cker gone. It's been 4 days now and it will not relent.

Rinse your mouth regularly with Corsodyl, available from chemists and most supermarkets

[Saint in Paradise]

Tincture of myrrh and here is how to make it for yourself.

 

 

Chemists used to sell it in UK but no idea if they still do, could try Bonjela ??

 

 

Dilute the salt with water and swill it around rather than salt direct as it won't hurt

[Cascadia Saint]

Anbesol every time. Hurts like a ***** but works quickly.

 

Only thing that works!

Wait for about 10 days and a wise man will deliver it to your stable. Along with a golden frankenstein. Or something.

Gargle regularly with plenty of salt diluted in water. Corsodyl helps but can stain teeth if used too often.

I hear Colin likes to gargle.

Jizz. I can't remember if it causes ulcers or cures them. Might be worth try tho if desperate!

[MINIBARCELONASAINT]

Sex. I have lots of it and no ulcers. It must work.

I see that's been edited, must have thought twice about the initial submission!

[carljack]

Refrain from oral sex!

Anbesol every time. Hurts like a ***** but works quickly.

 

I read that as Anusol at first

 

Salt water and Bonjela only things that work

[Badger]

If you can obtain it, apply Alum powder to the sore.

 

Recommended to me by an older relative many years ago,and it worked.

This has to be the funniest reply ever!!!

 

[Kenilworthy]

Bicarbonate of soda dabbed directly on - hurts like hell. Recommended by my brother in law who is a GP. Gengigel (you can get it from Boots) also helps. Once had 20 over Christmas, I could hardly speak.

[SuperMikey]

I'm afraid you have to snip it off with nail clippers Col. It's the only way.

Drink you own **** .sailors of yesteryear did that apparently

I realise that it is not in the spirit of your OP, but why don't you go to the doctor ??

Because he would probably say something along the lines of 'man up and buy some Bonjella.'

 

It's easing off now, thankfully. Worst thing about it was that swelling was causing it to rub against my back teeth. So while it's still there, the reduced swelling is enough to make it more then tolerable.

 

It's lasted a week now, not had one quite that bad before.

Just out of interest...what causes ulcers?

 

They are a massive pain in the arse and I get them on a regular. My mum always used to say it was due to drinking too much...

My mum used to put alum on mine, but I don't remember her being right or smart about anything, ever.

For anyone who is interested i suffered badly with the things until i read that there is something in toothpaste called sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) which in some people is the main reason you get them.

 

I have since july been using a toothpaste called Squigle which is bloody expensive at £6 a tube but is free of this nasty chemical. Can honestly say it has made a massive difference , not one single ulcer since july.

 

I am 44 yrs old and tried everything. Seems to me i was rubbing the very thing that caused them onto my gums twice a day, and no i dont own the company. Cheapest place to buy it is e bay if anyone wants to give it a try.

Never had one there. As to why, my mum always told me it was because I had told a lie.
