Ulcers are common and i am sure everyone get them once a while.

Even though it is something common but it is agonizing especially when it happens in the tongue.

Long long time ago I bit my tongue. Since then ulcers come and go whenever i ate too much heaty food. It only happens like twice a year but it still is very very very very painful. I can't even speak properly because it is very very very painful. I especially hate it because it cannot be cured anymore. It will just come and go as it please. Like that part of my tongue is it's holiday villa.

Anyway, what are the common solution for ulcers that you use?

Those that I know includes:

- leave it for a week and it will die off (but painful)
- bonjela (pain and useless)
- topical steroid cream, Kenalog (protect against pain but only last 30 min or less)
- watermelon dust (no use)
- salt (super duper painful but most effective)

I usually leave it to die off except when it is very very very painful. I will apply salt. It is so painful when rubbing salt on it until that ulcer region will be numb. I also did tried squeezing on the ulcer and blood will come out of it. However, this will make the ulcer grow even bigger. Ouch.

What are your methods for curing this very very very painful mo-fu*****?

Ouch...my tongue.

yeah, the kenalog was good when I started using it when i was still a kid. Now, it's like doesn't work anymore. Maybe my ulcers immune to it already.

watermelon frost is a chinese medicine. You won't know if you are not chinese or doesn't go to chinese pharmacy.

It does sooth the pain a little but need constant application.

Anyway, salt is most effective but pain like hell. After 2 days of applying salt, my tongue got better now. Maybe apply for 1 more today to be sure.

wow..first time hear about neem. Can provide more info like where to buy and how to apply? Will try this on my next ulcer problem.
