Mouth sores

Something you ate or drank has probably irritated the roof of your mouth. My universal remedy for anything ‘mouthy’ is a warm saline gargle. Try that, while you’re waiting for your dental appointment. It can’t harm, can it. Salt is a good antibacterial agent - so I’ve heard

Have you changed any medication recently? My Mum used. to complain that her mouth was sore - this. was some years ago as she died a long time ago - and I have also had a change in medication and have noticed that my gums are sore. Just a thought and. I hope you get. some relief from the discomfort.

Have you been taking antibiotics? I ask, because my husband always has thrush in his mouth when he takes them. He always asks the GP to prescribe something for thrush if he needs antibiotics.

minimoon,

no, it's not that, I haven't taken anything, it just flared up

I think it is worth seeing a doctor if you cannot get to a dentist, could be nothing important but always best to check new symptoms.

well said......That is my first remedy for anything in the mouth also...salt water mouthwash (saline) .

Lack of vitamins can cause mouth ulcers.
Perhaps visit your doctor, because it needs checking out.

Worth taking some zinc. I’ve got some Boots mouth ulcer gel that I use sometimes.Agree about salt water gargles. And seeing a entrust if it doesn’t resolve itself. I used to buy corlan tablets but they’re prescription only now.

Oh my goodness yes!
I had a nasty mouth ulcer on the roof of my mouth inJanuary.
No idea why, I used bonjela which recommended Seven days or go to doctor. Initially I didn’t believe it would be there so long but I did take six days to clear.

If you can stand it... Marmite works on mouth Ulcers. Strange but true.

I don’t know what it is Debbidoo but as dogsmother says Bonjela will sooth it for hours at a time (until you eat or drink again).
I buy the children’s banana flavour one for me - it is gentler and I think tastes nicer than the mint adult one.

Is this Hand, Foot and Mouth? Are you feeling a bit under the weather as well?

Hand, foot and mouth is doing the rounds where we live, that causes sores on the roof of the mouth.

Oh my god, what on earth is that, never heard of it. shock

usually affects young children/babies. very common.
have you been doing any childcare ?

I get blood blisters in my mouth . Usually on the side of cheek or on my tongue. I know if I eat something crunchy it can cause them. Had a scare a couple of weeks ago I had eaten 2 rice cakes with yogurt coating should have known better but they are lovely. Had a blood blister form the back of my throat by my air way. It got bigger and bigger . I am on blood thinners. I researched them when I had the first had one. And it warned against popping them as it can lead to infection. But it also said that ones at the back of the throat could block your airway. So decided to gently press it to pop it . I was frighten I wouldn't be able to breath. Sounds over dramatic but I live on my own and it's what I thought at the time . Luckily I didn't get an infection. Got one at the moment why I don't know but it's on my cheek so I will just let it go by itself . They don't hurt and usual go over night.

I know isn't the OP s problem but just wondered if anyone else has them.

I went through a phase of getting load blisters in my mouth. I wondered if it was due to using toothpaste with sodium laurel sulphate in it. Maybe rinsing with corsodyl would prevent any risk of infection.

Will check my toothpaste. Thank you .

I am intolerant of the red stripe in toothpaste . I think it’s made with cinnamon oil in it. I had a sore mouth & throat way back along & when I just happened to change my toothpaste to a plain type, he presto my symptoms cleared up.

Have you had CoviD recently ? my granddaughter (teens) had a dreadful mouth gums roof lips every part of her mouth peeling sore ulcerated for two weeks she was in agony Although she has suffered from ulcers before absolutely nothing like this The doctor said it was definitely CoviD related

So sorry to read this, a sore mouth is miserable. I have been getting ulcers and cold sores this winter and use Bonjela, and cold sore cream.

You can gargle with crushed aspirin which contains painkiller - don't swallow it.

My doctor told me to gargle with dispersible aspirin when I had a sore throat.
