Re: What's the best thing for mouth ulcers?

I gargle with sea SALT water several times a day. Other things work ( tea tree oil, myrrh, oil of oregano ) but may be more difficult to apply since the mouth is always wet.

You need to blot the devil with a tissue to make it as dry as you can, then use a cotton wool bud wiith a drop of the tea tree, myrrh tincture, GSE, or whatever , and nuke the devil.
Keep it there for a few seconds...

Don't forget - don't swallow any salt water though!

Might it be your meds giving you ulcers?

The ulcers are a side effect of the methotetraxe cancer drug sessions I had.

Re: What's the best thing for mouth ulcers?

Mrs LDs used to suffer terribly from mouth ulcers when she was younger and the only treatment she found that actually worked was Oralmedic. Expensive to buy but it worked every time.

Years ago I heard of something called bonjella - is this still the best treatment?
Bonjela always works well for me on the rare occasions I have a mouth ulcer.
