Answer #1

are u on some medication for that?

I know that people try to gargle warm water with salt in it to disinfect the area…but I dont really know what you could do other then get some medication from a doctor.

Hope you feel better soon.

Answer #2

Symptomatic treatment is the primary approach to dealing with oral ulcers. If their cause is known, then treatment of that condition is also recommended. Adequate oral hygiene may also help in relieving symptoms. Typical antihistamines, antacids, corticosteroids or applications meant to soothe painful ulcers may be helpful, as may be oral analgesics such as paracetamol or ibuprofen and local anaesthetic lozenges, paints or mouth rinses such as benzocaine and avoiding spicy or hot foods may reduce pain. Rinsing the mouth out with brine (warm salted water) may help. Ulcers persisting longer than three weeks may require the attention of a medical practitioner.
