Ugh. I have two mouth ulcers

[LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE]

And they are REALLY sore. I've just finished nights so it isn't surprising. I've put TCP/bonjella/anbusol/orobase on. Still really sore.

If you have any magical cures please pass them on!

Luke warm salt water mouth rinse 4 times a day x

Corsodyl mouthwash. It's anti-bacterial and works a treat.

second corsodyl. Really effective

You can usually get own brand Corsodyl which is identical but cheaper - I recommend you get the mint flavoured one. Its a bit strong. If you can't get that, go for Listerine gum health.

Take loads of B12

I second the salt water, it's the only thing that works for me!

Start taking the supplement Lysine as soon as you can feel the mouth ulcers starting, they are brilliant for killing them off.

B12
Corsodyl gel

Dip your finger in some salt and then put it on the ulcers, stings like hell initially but gets rid of them quickly.

Sage advice, thanks all. Bloody hurts 😞😭

Corsodyl
Take a nurofen
Hot salt water rinses

Corsodyl toothpaste (gel?) applied directly really helps.

Have resorted to Whiskey... Corsydyl toothpaste on shopping list

Oh Mumsnet. I went on Amazon. I bought the toothpaste... And some coloured conditioner... And cuticle scissors... And DS2s birthday presents. I blame you all, you wonderful ladies!

I have been known in my teenage years, not recommended, when I got lots of mouth ulcers to cut into them with a knife or nail scissors. Not really recommended. I think you can ice them with an ice cube maybe?

Blimey - that's hardcore! Did it make them go away?

Try oil pulling with cocoanut oil - I find it really takes the sting away and promotes healing

I dip my finger in salt and then dab on. Hurts like hell but also numbs. Alcohol makes you forget.

Chewing gum eases the pain

For prevention in future try the Lidl sensitive toothpaste. Totally sorted mine out.

Urgo Filmogel for mouth ulcers, available from Amazon (£13.46). Paint it over the ulcer and it creates a barrier, aiding healing and alleviating pain (tho can smart a bit when first applied). Honestly it's fantastic, and in my experience, far better than anything else on the market.

I used to get horrendous mouth ulcers and would generally bite them to pop them. I don't know if it actually helped heal them but it did psychologically. Then I started to get B12 injections and I've never had one since (also a shift worker who works nights).

I agree with a pp... oil pulling with coconut oil did wonders for when I (unusually) developed one.
Even after one oil pull it calmed down. By day three it was gone.
Good luck op

Zero alcohol listerine every hour got rid of mine.
