Canker sores are red, white, or yellow sores that can occur on the roof of your mouth, tongue, or the inside of your lips and cheeks. You should not take any medicine without doctor's advice it maybe harmful and can lead other complications. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment plan.
Dear Lybrate user, clean your mouth with betadine mouthwash 2% for three times a day. Take 10 ml of betadine 2% each time for cleaning. Use soft toothbrush and apply orasep la at the sores. Keep it for atleast 10 to 15 minutes before cleaning your mouth. Repeat this 3 to 4 times a day.
The best way to treat bed so as to avoid continuous pressure at particular point for which you can buy an air bed which has circulating air pressure points like feeling and ending pressure points that maintain body circulation. Also if your father is diabetes you need to take an account that the blood glucose levels are controlled tightly. Apart from neosporin you can use Himalaya antiseptic cream along with Betadine ointment which can cause a little burning sensation.
We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need Coronoplasty (smoothen teeth edges) along with Multivitamin cap, for five days in the morning after meals & antiseptic ointment or gel on the area of ulcer until then. Mouth sores are common and rarely cause complications. Most go away in about a week, but it’s important to monitor any mouth sores you develop. If you are concerned, or if the sore doesn’t seem to be healing, contact your dentist Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash after every meals. Advance procedures can be done with laser. You may consult me in person.
If the mouth ulcer is causing a lot of pain, gently rub a small ice cube over the spot or rinse your mouth with ice-cold water. You could also chew on a clove bud (lavang) and direct the juice generated to the area where the ulcer is located. Clove buds are a great ingredient to cure sore throat too. To prevent the ulcerated area from getting infected, make it a point to rinse your mouth with a little salt water. Remember, this won’t make the ulcer disappear, but it can help reduce the pain.
Honey is a natural humectant. It helps reduce scarring and hastens the process of new tissue growth. This, along with its anti-microbial effect ensures faster healing of the mouth ulcer.
Chew a few leaves of tulsi along with some water about three to four times every day. This will help in getting rid of ulcers faster and also have a preventive action against their recurrence.
Applying a little coconut oil directly onto the mouth ulcer or chewing some coconut (fresh or dry) helps reduce pain and inflammation and hence, ulcers heal faster.
Mix some sugar to crushed khus-khus seeds and consume this mixture for instant relief from ulcers.
You could apply a little ghee directly to the ulcerated area, or drink a glass of buttermilk two or three times every day.
Mouth ulcers left untreated generally go away in a week or so; with these home remedies, you can expect faster relief. However, if you notice an ulcer in the mouth that is persistently present although it does not cause you any pain, do not neglect it or try to treat it with home remedies beyond a few days. Make it a point to see a doctor soon because often, a painless mouth ulcer is one of the earliest signs of oral cancer.
