I never get mouth ulcers before.. as i always drink alotsa water.. and i love to eat fruits and green leafy vege.

i suppose putting salt will make it go to its worse stage faster or maybe let it heal itself

that doctor at paragon one is it?Originally posted by hugofriend:I was very prone to mouth ulcer in the past. My ulcer usually takes 3 weeks to recover and I can get up to 3 on each outbreak. For years, I have been seeking help from Internet and doctors.
The internet says it is due to stress and advise on taking Vitamin B Complex and western doctors usually give me medicine to apply and Vitamin B and C to heal the wound. All these methods either don't work for me or only temporary resolve it.
Until, I met a doctor fluent in both western and chinese medicine. The first question he asked me " Have you taken sufficient water and green leavely vegetables? "
The question strucked me directly as I seldom drink water and dislike green leavely vegetables. Since then, I begin to drink more water each day and taking more "green" vegetables. I also follow my dad's advise to take cold-water bath rather than heated-water bath. To my surprise, the ulcers recover fast and seldom return anymore. As such, I am taking this opportunity to share with those who happen to come across this Post. Past this to your friend who in need. -

I have tried putting salt (even until blood came out) but the healing duration still remains the same. So I guess salt does not works for me and it is something to do with my body rather than the wound.
I think not only should drink more water (at least 8 big glasses daily) and eat more green leafly vegetable, one should refrain from taking heated-water bath. Use tap water instead as its temperature should be cool enough to cool the body. If you love eating stuff while it is hot (eg. hot soup while it is steaming), then try not to, as it is bad for the wall of your mouth as it kills a lot of good cell.
As what browniebaobao adviced, get more sleep and refrain from heaty food. If possible, sweat a bit everyday to PAI DU.
Try take the above advise for a month or 2 and see if it works for you. If it does, then share it with others. -
I got one at the lower back of the gum
so swollen and painful, and cannot bite or swallow -
go to the chinese medicine shops, ask for xi gua fen(watermelon powder)..
any kind will do , very effective.
apply it when u slp, and let the stuff stay on while you sleep
try not to use the saliva to wash it away
and it's not poisonous btw..
salt makes the wound bigger, and it only kills the bacteria around it.
oh yes, lotsa water.
hope you all recover! -
Use Bonjela. Available from Pharmacy. Drink lots and lots of water.
Normally I'd get ulcer when I accidentally bite myself. Thats when I am too heaty and drink not enought water. -
try this, it works for me.
1 part vodka and 4 parts water. your ulcer shd have a different texture by the next day.
