Mouth Ulcers

salt should do the trick

keep the salt for the slugs

bonjela

shouldnt it be salty water? not just pure salt? :S

Corsodyl

check it out on the boots website, its superb stuff

i had a fecking awful one recently and it went in 2 days

agreed Gaz but tastes like poison

do you put a lot of salt on your food?

i used to get ulcers all the time, 2 years ago i stopped putting salt on my food, and i havent had one since!

a gobful of hot tea will soothe it temporarily

Always noticed getting them after hoovering down pringles. Now alot healthier i don't get them. Pringle muncher?

no pringles or salty food

first time i've had one and its fecking huge

been gargling with salt water and mouthwash plenty

then about an hour ago i put some pure salt on it, stung like hell...just ended up making it about twice as inflamed :|

what mouthwash? listerine? its great stuff

i used colgate so far but have listerine too, will try that

stress.

havent been stressed at all tbh, this has come at a pretty random time really

why else have you guys got them previously?

once you have one. it will constantly return .

keep a vitamin c tablet against it for as long as you can - soon goes (I've heard that lemon juice works as well but never tried it myself).

I get them if I eat too many salty crisps and things. Pringles have a lot to answer for.

I always found salt just hurt like hell and make it bleed. Bonjela does the job in a day or two.

If you can't get to the chemist, then for a home remedy try bicarbonate of soda.

spot on gary

More evidence of chit chat's decline.

A couple of dozen replies and not a single 'spooge'

Crisps, tomatoes even bananas bad for the ulsers. Best job i found but it will hurt is myrhh tincture ( any chemist should have it), horrid brown stuff numbs the pain makes the inside of mouth go like your skin when been in bath too long, small bottle last u years.

My nan gave it me as a nipper she had never heard me swear before.

Bonjela does nowt.

Doctor told me years ago gargling with dispersable aspirin the best thing for it , one of the components in it.
And they only cost about 20p a packet.

Oil pulling, cures everything, mouth ulcers, bad breath, heart disease etc. etc. I started doing it yesterday and haven't had a days illness since.

I had one once and it was bloody painful.

Tried that Bonjela stuff and was astonished how good it was.

In the morning, before breakfast on an empty stomach, pour one tablespoon (10ml) of Sesame Oil into your mouth. Swish and swirl the Sesame Oil gently, in a comfortable way, through the gums and teeth for about fifteen to twenty minutes.

supposed to do it 3 times a day? :0

I always found Rinstead Pastilles worked well.

corsodyl mouth wash

But the health benefits are tremendous thetitan, I haven't looked back since yesterday morning, I did ** a bit, you are supposed to swirl it around your mouth until it goes white?? but when I spat it out it was yellow so I didn't quite go the full course. I will be giving it the full treatment tomorrow morning and swirling until its white. I will report back in about 2054 but of course most of you will be history by then, I will be entering my second century in the rudest of health and probably in training for the 2058 Olympics.
