Hello, I'm a newbie on Mumsnet and desperately hoping someone can help me. My 9 year old girl has suffered from chronic mouth ulcers for about the past year. They started at the end of our holiday in the IoW last year and have been pretty much chronic ever since. They are ENORMOUS, she gets batches at a time, they crack and bleed and they're incredibly painful for her.
We managed to keep them at bay for a while by giving her Feroglobin as it contains Zinc and B12 but now they're back and she's miserable. She's been to the maxillo facial unit, she's been to the doctor several times but they just dismiss them and say there's nothing they can do. We've also tried: bonjella, Iglu, every mouthwash on the market, salt water rinse, aloe vera jelly, she's had blood tests which are apparently clear and we've now requested a test for oral herpes although the doctor said it's unlikely. I know it sounds trivial but she can't eat, sleep or talk properly, she's in so much pain and it's really getting her down because it's gone on for so long.
PLEASE: does anyone have any other ideas as to what the underlying cause might be and also what I might be able to use to relieve them and try and get rid of them quicker?
