Respected sir I am 70 years old man suffering from chronic aphthous ulcers. At present I am applying mucopain mouth gel. But it takes more than a week for relief. Can I apply milk of amnesia? Regards dinanath.

Aphthous ulcer do take 1-2 weeks to heal. Milk of amnesia is also a pain reliever just like mucopain but not safe to use multiple times in mouth. Instead you can use lidocaine gel for pain relief. For chronic recurrent aphthous ulcers you need to get evaluated for underlying cause and get treated for it.

No. 1. Avoid spicy and sour foods, drinking hot liquids like tea, coffee and avoid oily, spicy food until the ulcers heal. 2.Drink plenty of fluids. 3.Regularly rinse your mouth out with warm, slightly salted water or baking soda. 4.Keep your mouth clean. 5. Apply ice to your canker sores by allowing ice chips to slowly dissolve over the sores 6. Apply toothpaste over the sores to treat them 7. Apply little honey onto the mouth ulcer or mix in a little turmeric to make a paste that can be applied to the affected area. Honey helps to retain moisture and prevent dehydration. 8. Brush your teeth gently, using a soft brush for this homeopathic treatment is very effective. For more details you can consult me.
