ulcer in my mouth - any remedies?

[ohiobbw]

I have a very painful ulcer in my mouth. Specfically right on my throat, so it is always being being irrated. It hurts to drink water!

So anyone who has a home remedy, please post here!

Gly oxide works for ones in the mouth. I don't know about the throat.

Here's a cure if you can stand it. Take a vitamin E pill and break it open. Squeeze the gel onto a Q-tip and swab over the sore. You can also buy stuff for canker sores over the counter in little vials.

Ohoh... Can't forgot the old stand by... Gargle with warm salt water.. That's a cureall!!!!

I know for sores in my mouth my mom used to warm up salt water and have us swish it around in our mouths. I don't know if it would work for one in your throat though. You might want to have a doctor look at it.

Gargling with warm water - with plenty of sea salt always works for me! It seems to help it heal a lot quicker...it's a bit yucky...but it works a treat!

Good luck...mouth ulcers are just the pits!

I've been gargling with salt water, so far no luck with that! (I've had the ulcer for almost a week now).

But I'm going to keep using salt water, I'll try the vitamin E and canker sore medicine though.

Anything to get rid of it fast

read the label on the canker sore meds before using them

I don't think they are for internal use..


also.. if you have had it a week.. go to the doctor.. it may be infected or something worse..

please don't let this go any longer..

I've always found that Pepto -Bismal works better than salt-water. It coats, the Bismuth is anti-bacrerial , & the aspirin in it
treats the pain. I'm sure the only trouble with swallowing is constapation, If you drink enough, but don't try to drink it. Just apply it directly to the Ulcer whenever it bothers you. You can spit out the excess.

A week is a long time in a place that heals as quickly as the mouth. Do this now, call the doctor tomorrow.
