mouth ulcers

[oxocube]

ds1 (12) suffers horribly from mouth ulcers which I think are largely stress related (he had lots to be stressed about at the moment, poor love). He uses a gel to relieve the pain but does anyone have any 'cures' or ideas of things to prevent/lessen the outbreaks? He is miserable because of them

TIA

Oraldene mouthwash is good.

Extra vitamin c.

Don't eat boiled sweets.

Have a proper check up with GP and dentist to make sure everything else is ok.

Poor thing - they are horrible things to have.

thanks frogs - will get the mouthwash and extra vit C tabs.

My ds2 had same thing during gcses. Got some really good stuff from chemist. I'll see if i can find it and let you know what it is

The best thing I've ever used is Fraydor.
Stings like crap, but really works.
Dh couldn't get any last time, so got somehting else which i can't remember th ename of.

Just found it. Yes SS same thing but Ds got it on prescription I had forgotten that. His says POM on box so don't know if it's same strength as you can buy otc. It is triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%.

thanks all. I feel so sorry for him. We have just googled the Frador which looks good - TBH he will try anything

It's not a cure or a treatment but I find that I can help get rid of them faster by keeping my mouth scrupulously clean. Brush after each meal or where that isn't possible swill out the mouth with water and spit.

I don't know why it works but it does seem to help them heal up.

Poor thing - hope some of these help.
