I believe ulcers are the most dreadful thing to have in your mouth especially when you're having more than one!

normally i'll use listerine to cure it but it's quite costly (for me),
so how do you guys deal with your mouth ulcers in a more economic and effective way?

this is depend on your immune system of your body. for mine..it will heal in 3 days..but i will use bactidol to gargle day and night..

cheapest way is to use salt dilute in warm water..but u have to gargle few times a day and it take more time to heal..

actually similar topic has been discussed quite a lot of time..u may use the search function to search..

Go to any pharmacy and ask them for Dexaltin Oral Paste. Highly effective, I used it last time when I suffered a huge ulcer! Damn painful that one.

This paste will cure it within days.. Upon application, you will feel a bit of numbness in your mouth, macam ubat bius dentist I tried garam but then sakit.. Last time I bought it RM9.25 per tube, 2grams. You won't need that much. One tube can be used many times.

Enough for 3-4 mouth ulcer attacks

try Neem !

just google it and i have neem oil and mix with moushwash and guggle

neem is a natural plant kill viruses bacteria ..etc

So far Bonjela's the best. Taste good too.

Dexaltin is the best.. Hehe.. My ulcer already pecah that time, and it healed fast.

I put salt on the ulser and leave it there....
Very painful... But effective... Next day will not painful...
Use chinese watermelon powder also can...
I try use bonjela... Slow cure...

Most important, drink plenty of water...

oral aid... available in any pharmacies..

Bonjela for me .. i use the sugar free

never use anything,just let it be..but keep ur mouth clean.

use salt. avoid oral sex. hehehe

bonjela and salt is fine with me

try oral paste...ask pharmacy.
i use overnight with small amount on the ulcer.
tomorow 70-80% cured..

paste act shield from germ spreading while healing..
good luck..

mydad always ask me to put da watermelon powder..

but when im ulcer..i put many time oso still same..

but my dad put twice den cured dy..so miracle n weird

hate ulcer

Eh?

True, Dexaltin is a type of oral paste too. Salute!

bonjela doesn't work for me!

so i use kenalog in orabase.
you can get it from pharmacists

When I can feel a mouth ulcer coming i quickly rinse my mouth with arm salt water. Sometimes the ulcer won't appear.

It is very painful when I get a few ulcers at a time and it tales about a week to heal.

I used to get it very frequently. Same with my friend. The doctor recommend grape seed extract , an anti oxidant to boost up my immune system.
Since then I don't have ulcers so often and even when it comes it heals very quickly.

just avoid fried food and crackers...

What is the reason for the ulcers?

bactitol good. it kill bacteria and numb the pain. then you can each kfc like normal.

It will take 2-3 days but you will only feel a bit of pain after putting salt directly on it. Then rinse water+salt early morning and night.

Cheap but effective.

hahaaaa!

well, if u want it in a cheap cost... use salt and water melon powder aka 'sai gua siong' is the best... but salt is pain O...

For those who only get in once in a blue moon the reason may be stress or eating fried foods.

For frequent sufferers there may be other reasons like deficiency of Vit B12 or folates. or have a immune disorder.

I can tell you it is no fun when your mouth has 2-3 ulcers. Eating is horrible and even talking is just plain torture.
It is worse if the ulcer is at the tip of your tongue or at the back of your throat.

Of course when it appears the salt treatment is sheer hell.
So I would rather prevent getting it in the first place.

You can read this article on mouth ulcers.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/mouthulcers1.shtml

Now when I feel one coming (and I usually do )I take extra grape seed extract.

salt pain man... just let it be la hahaha

salt can reliv the pain fr a few minutes. but u gotta bear the pain b4 frst.

Use salt, it hurts like mad and your mouth gets numb.
Or maybe you can get those ulcer gel, not sure what's the name of it.

Watermelon powder, bio-C, Glister mouth spray...n care on wat u eat..avoid heated food...

Oreopaste! Ask from Guardian Pharmacy.

Regards, Joey

i have been having this mouth ulcer for more than 3 days, putting salt doesn't seem to help....haiz....

use asam keping lor....sure a bit pain..but it will go away right away

salt + water super pain, so I use watermelon powder, 2 days den gone liao

salt. cure with 1 or 2 days. sometimes overnight for me.
and the sensation is wonderful.

try putting honey on the ulcer...

it will cure but few days lah, but it wont be pain like salt..

Yup. Have to apply directly on ulcer.

Don't mix it with water. That one take longer time to cure.

How many times per day? Well, try this...try use your tongue to touch it, if you feeling very pain meaning it is time to apply salt on it.

It works wonder and cost effective way of curing ulcer!

It's a no pain no gain method

BUt salt hurts so much omai... I prefer watermelon powder although longer

Putting salt is no doubt painful. But it's the fastest way for me. And like beck_ken said, no pain no gain.
The pain is only initially anyway, after that there's no pain edi. So when I have an ulcer, I put salt as many times as possible, mainly cause I like the feeling.
But I think too many times isn't good as the gum tends to become like.. I dunno how to put it in words.

yeah..it's hurt for the very first time. after few times apply will get used to it.

hahaha...last time when I applied it for the very first time. Pain till tears flooding my eyes already..hahaha

yea, oh yea, you apply and swallow it ah? bad for kidney right?

salt isn't all that bad. the food you take also has salt wan ma.
drink more water also la. after all, drink more water can help cure the ulcer too. If not mistaken, mouth ulcer is caused by too much heat in the stomach.

caused of 'heaty'
so you guys put every hour once or what? haha

use listerine.
put on a cotton wool and press it on the ulcer
try not to scream haha.
press and hold it until cant feel pain anymore
tmrw sure gone

wow the listerine techniq i 1st time heard, not bad. will try it now, currently i having ulcer inside throat, can call as sorethroat! can die.

if listerine costly, can try the guardian mourthwash, not bad to me.
watermelon powder is good too and effective, around 2-4days to cure.
as for salt.. cheap lo, directly put salt, or rinse salt water, also can cure, rinse more often.

if sorethroat, besides strepsils, i eat watermelon powder pills too, good. =)

try DIFFLAM...

its an anti-inflammatory lozenges (with antibacterial) that will relieves of painful inflamed sore throat..

very effective..the lozenge will numb it n u wont feel pain but just numb

but when i have ulcer i dont care it..

i will like try to bite bite bite till it burst n it cure by itself...

also no pain no gain method

i'll go buy difflam tomolo if cant cure yet.

ts hows ur ulcer?

get the Rasberry Sugar Freee cos it has anti-bacterial (stronger effects)

but the Lime doesnt have anti bacterial..

bought 1 box around RM 18-22 inside got 2 stripes... 1 strips = RM 9 if buy separately...

each stripes contains 8pcs of lozenges...

That's new! I'll try it next time I have an ulcer.

why listerine helps? what does it have in it to cure ulcers?

errr, I thought you can only gurgle listerine? Kenot swallow larh..

I think its help because it kills bacteria/germs?
i never swallow lah, haha, just gargle it, more on the throat there, then rinse out.

can meh? sure accidentally swallow de..

I accidentaly tergigit the right side of my mouth and now I'm having a huge ulcer because of that. Can't eat food, can't talk and can't even yawn!

This is the 3rd day I'm having that ulcer and the pain seems to be decreased 5% from that of yesterday. My GF gave me bonjela to apply on it but as usual, it was so painful for about 1 minute and then it became numb. 4 hours later, it started to be pain again and the same routine applies.

Haihz.. I hate ulcers! I rather have sorethroat than ulcers!

Lol! You're suppose to gargle at the lowest of your throat when you gargle listerine la. It works wonders when one is having sore throat.
Try Bactidol. The taste is horrible but it numbs the throat right after you gargle. Works very well for me.

If at the side of the mouth then salt will be damn painful. Try using oral paste. I don't like oral paste thou. Like something very kacau in my mouth.

lol, when u have sorethroat u will claim that u like ulcer more. haha.
both i hate!
for the bonjela, how soon can it cure ur ulcer?
u bite ur mouth when eating, either u talk alot during meal, or u getting heaty d, drink more water.

some further reading on mouth ulcer

here

actually about the healing part..it's all related to individual..some might take days..some might take week to weeks.

even doctor cant tell you or guarantee you when your ulcer will cured. when have ulcer..you must have lot of rest and sleep early so that the tissue can recover faster.

Just get some ulcer cream from the pharmacy. In my opinion, same as watermelon powder and better than salt.

my sorethroat is not so serious d after consuming around 10 pieces of watermelon powder pills, plus rinse guardian mouth wash on and off.

if buy watermelon powder, buy the one come with spray, easier to handle.

Don't mean to jump on anybody's parade but have you guys heard of aloclair? Don't mean to hock my stuff here but it is a really good product and I would like to, well share it with everyone.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1206004&hl=

I know my post is bare but most of the links will have more than sufficient information.

Item(s):Aloclair Spray

Price:RM24.50 each

can this spray to throat?

It's mainly used for fast relief for mouth ulcers. Are you referring to it's use for a sore throat? Or ulcers in the throat area?

lol for me i just keep sucking the blood and spit it out

this will not help speed up the recovery as evtime u suck it..the wound open up again...and lucky there is no infection after wound open..else u going to take more weeks to recover...


* a bad example not to follow *

salt! though it's painful

bonjela is sweet.. yuckss.. ops..(my bf will kill me for saying this cz he bought it for me one ..) but the taste seriously very hard to consume > <

anyone tried the green chinese powder ? it used to be really effective few years ago, but lately, they changed the bottle package and also the ingredient powder which makes the medicine not as effective as before, anyone notice ?

So far Bonjela works the best. You can try a combo like rinse with salt water then apply Bonjela. It's better you put it in the fridge for the cooling effect.

ok...it's better to consult doctors if the ulcers occur a lot and frequent. it's how the bacteria infect the throat thus make u got ulcer. my housemate is one of the case where the tonsils are big and doc suggest her to do operations as that may be the cause for her ulcer's occurance. not all mouth ulcers are like that but her is one of a kind. use what cream or what oso no use....gorgle oso no use....

for those occur all the time ..go c doctor/ throat specialist .....it can be serious though...dun play play...

rinse mouth with salt water = painful but eliminates germs and bacteria and promotes recovery.

natural honey is also good. apply in excess to the ulcer.

or u can use conventional medication (e.g. oral aid). i am more in favour to natural way though.

and drink plenty of water.

salt is for crazy+hardcore people
sure will make u cry
but fosho it is the best+fastest effect
thank god my ulcer is not serious

i dun really like bonjela as it's not very effective on me.
i used to like the chinese green powder but since i found out about the salt, i've never use any other methods to cure my ulcer edi.

2-3 days only(my case)...

she's right dear, see.. no body likes bonjela ..

WHERE TO GET THIS GRAPE EXTRACT????? REPLY TO 0193629402

Come to think of it I haven't had an ulcer for years since taking kefir; kefir must have strengthened my immune system!

Those days I used to get ulcers quite frequently, sometimes 2 ulcers at one time. I preferred Kenalog In Orabase over Bonjela. Kenalog sticks onto the wound on application unlike Bonjela which is immediately washed away by the saliva.

One cure... SALT! But it hurts like mad!

How about ulcer under tongue? I'm having one now for the very first time....

i hate this the most ~

I tried Bonjela and salt both also doesn't works for me then go see doctor.. applied that cream then that area will fell numb.. it feels better..

I haven't had it since I exercise regularly.. lol

Back then, i usually have at least 2 ulcer every time.. under the tongue is the most painful one..

Morning

Stomach ulcers are the worse.

As for tongue, gum...antibiotics works nicely

EDIT: I got confused. 'Oral Aid' works nicely.





Buy it at pharmacy or go to the clininc.


Tongue is the worse that I'd experience.

Right on the area near the molar; move the tongue...and the ulcer made contact with the molar.

I was teary the whole time.

Even eating is a nightmare.

Such torture.

Good to know.

Yup, I used to get those ulcers whenever I bit my tongue or my inner cheek. But you don't need antibiotics for ulcers do you?

I got confused with soar throat

'Oral Aid' works nicely for tongue/gum ulcers.
