Posting again as still struggling
Sorry for the swearing- just a bit fed up of it!
I’ve got a mouth ulcer that won’t seem to heal after 10 days. I’ve tried bonjela and all the usuals but it hasn’t improved it at all.
It started out with a lump which came on very suddenly (I hadn’t bitten my lip) and was about a cm in size. The entire area was numb and I could pinch the outside skin without feeling it. It felt like I had gotten a local anaesthetic injection at the dentist! The big lump calmed down over the next day or so and left behind a mouth ulcer which is only about half a cm in size but it’s really uncomfortable and I’m aware of it. I don’t know why it’s not healing but any advice would be appreciated. It’s a red/purple colour in the centre if that makes any difference.
I wondered if the lack of healing was the ulcer catching on food or I was biting it accidentally and that’s why it wasn’t healing but I’m not and it’s not positioned in a place where I eat so it’s not catching on food.
The only reason I’m a bit concerned is that I’m waiting a root canal and have an infected tooth root, although that’s on the other side of my mouth and is an upper tooth whereas this is on the other side of my mouth and is lower so probably unlikely to be related. Just a bit worried in case it’s because of that!
