have a really sore mouth got ulcers yet again and now really sore right at the back on the roof od my mouth and just starting to go down top of throat. Liz suggested earlier yoghurt but only have a fruit one which I will try.

Anyone got any other remedies is driving me mad tonight feels like its burning and prickling (sorry only way can describe it)

My dad had this recently and he actually needed some medicine from the doctor, they presribed him Nystatin and it cleared it up in a couple of days. His was so sore he couldnt eat, he had about 8 mouth ulcers.

Hope you find relief soon.

Can you get hoold of Bonjela (sp?). My daughter useed to suffer a lot with ulcers and although it stung like hell, she used to eat a pack of salt'n'vinegar crisps or have salt and vinegar on her chips. She swore it cured them quicker than anything. I've never suffered with them so I can only go on her recommendation. I think Bonjela is a less painful alternative though.

have ulcers every week now dr thinks it could be tablets but what he gave hasnt worked, consultant thinks could be something else so cant win.

Ulcers getting used to them its just the back of mouth and throat bit thats annoying me

Lyn

not sure its ulcers at back of mouth there are on lips and tongue at front, bonjela stinfgs like **** but does work have that on front ones but if they are ulcers at back will gag trying to put it on lol

Dawn I was going to suggest salt, like Lynn, but as you have so many it might be a bit awkward trying to put salt grains on each ulcer, so maybe a strong solution of salt water would be better as it will reach more of the ulcers. Do you have any Oraldene mouth wash at all as that might help, or one of those teeth mouthwashes.

I have used salt & water and gargle with it, but it does sting and you may dance around the bathroom for a while, but will help with the healing.
Eating ice cream or and ice lolly also does the trick but only short term

Other wise always have bonjela in, just in case. Sounds painful though. Is your immunity down?I think you may need some medical help

I so hope you feel better soon, Dawnie, moth ulcers are horrid,

Caz never had moth ulcers before. Are they different? LOL

FM makes me run down and on 5 different tablets so that doesnt help

bonjela always in house so might can use that on front ones will go and ask eldest to look and see if back of mouth has ulcers or is just sore

Helen Moth ulcers fly arounf you lol

Excuse my ignorance

What's FM?

My friend suffered frommultiple mouth ulcers, they tested her or Lupus & crohns disease, but never came up with a diagnosis. She used to drink glasses of iced water all the time. Said it numbed her mouth.

Eventually they went away but she had recurrences for over a year

FM is Fibromyalgia one of the things consultant was thinking of was Lupus just got another appt with him for end of April so no doubt he will ask for more blood tests as ulcers getting worse and last time was a weak positive.

think I prefer the iced water to salt water got some piglet shaped ice cubes he'll be gentle on me lol


Daughter says back of throat looks like ulcers on it but not roof of mouth that just looks red

Oh i am sorry- Thats muscle pains isn't it?

do the tablets help at all?

I find rinsing in corsodyl mouthwash the night before helps. The next morning I find the pain has gone.

One of my ladies has been quite ill and got mouth ulcers. I gave her some Manuka Honey 20+ and it cleared it up quite quickly.

I'm Type 2 Diabetic. Mouth ulcers can be a frequent problem for diabetics. If you are overweight might be an idea to ask you GP for test to see if you diabetic.

Here's a few indications of Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes often develops slowly. Most people who get it have increased thirst and an increased need to urinate.
Many also feel tired, irritable and nauseous. Some people have an increased appetite, but they lose weight.
Other signs are:
· Repeated or hard-to-heal infections of the skin, GUMS, vagina, or bladder;
· Blurred vision;
· Tingling or loss of feeling in the hands or feet;
· Dry, itchy skin.
The symptoms can be so mild that they go unnoticed. They may also be confused with signs of ageing. It is thought that millions of people worldwide suffer from type 2 diabetes

Are you stressed Dawnie, only that is the only time I get them........I use Bonjela or the old fashioned salty water gargle......miserable things aren't they.......hope they disappear soon.......x

Apparently liquorice helps...... my step daughter used to have them constantly (eventually diagnosed with Chrohns) and liquorice helped her!
