Get a Q-tip, dip it in vingar and then put it on the ulcer, stings like a bastard but removes the ulcer quickly.
My wisdom teeth were playing up a few weeks back, and I went and asked for some bonjella at the chemist, and they gave me some local anaesthetic stuff instead, called 'Liquid Anbesol', which they said you can use for mouth ulcers too. It's liquid rather than a gel type thing, and he said it's better at staying put than bonjella, and it must have been cos it worked even right at the back of my jaw. You can feel it working instantly, it really numbs the area that's sore.
I'll try an ear bud and vingar .
i think im prone to them, i get them every month or so and they normally last about 2 weeks. my mam is prone too and see had 13 at one time once :shocking:
Mum used to get me to put salt on them whether to get me to stop playing with them or make them heal quicker I don't know.
I get mine when I'm stressed but if you get yours in the same place it might be worth checking if any of your teeth have rough edges.
