Hi all, would appreciate some crowd sourced advice/personal experience from anyone.
DH has had a nasty mouth ulcer on his tongue for 4 days. I've had the occasional mouth ulcer - as most of us have - and though a bit painful I generally use some Bonjela and avoid salty foods etc and it clears up. DH can't speak as it's so painful. Tried Iglu, Bonjela, those pastilles that you suck slowly, ibuprofen and even a co-codamol when he couldn't sleep (!! but it's waking him up through the night) - nothing has really helped.
He's drinking through a straw, I'm making him really soft and bland foods etc and presume it will eventually go away (I know 4 days isn't long), but I'm a bit worried that it's causing him such extreme discomfort.
Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure whether to go back to the pharmacy and ask for some OTC?! Just feel so sorry for him.
