What are mouth ulcers?

HOME REMEDY FOR MILD-TO-MODERATE CONDITIONS:
My grandmother told me about this remedy which I am sharing with you.
Take two teaspoonful of honey and gargle it for a while and swallow or spit out (diabetic patients are not allowed to swallow honey). Do it twice a day for two to three days and it will be cured.
Even though mouth ulcers are gastric in origin, in order to heal the ulcer, the above remedy will help you in curing the symptoms.
My grandmother is not there with us anymore but she told me one more thing to do. She told me to keep on drinking water again and again so that my mouth would not be dry for a single second. I tried this and it helped a lot. You can also try this out, keep a glass of water always with you and drink water after every 5 to 10 minutes, just a sip, I am not saying that you have to drink a full glass after 5 to 10 minutes, just a sip.
Try both of these remedies and let me know the results in the comments section below.
At last I would say that for more severe conditions, you should consult your family doctor or a good ENT specialist in your area.

Eileen, mouth ulcers can be caused by various vegetables, fruits, drinks, medicines such as antibiotics, etc. Some people experience mouth ulcers with weather changes also. I think the best thing is prevention like you have done. If you have an allergy to bananas, just get rid of them, try some other fruit has a lot of iron contents like bananas, for example, pomegranate. By the way, thanks for reminding me of vegemite, yes I have heard it is very useful on ulcers, just apply some vegemite on those bad ulcers and they are gone. Thanks for the input.
Soni these were excellent tips for mouth ulcers and very useful to me as it happens to me always
Thanks shinujohn for taking interest in this hub and finding it useful.
Thanks for this nice article on mouth ulcers soni. I tried to drink lots of water and it is helping me out. I will also try applying honey on these ulcers.
I was told to use Vegemite by my friend. I was in pain. But it definately has helped! I hate it when I bite my ulcers. It hurts a lot!
Hi Britty vegemite is helpful for some people with mouth ulcers but not for all, so I would request you to use the honey next time it happens. Next time, also try to prevent having these ulcers with the tips I have listed in the hub above.
I am suffering from mouth ulcers every 15 days, but without seeing this, on my own, i tried honey, because i was having burning sensation in my mouth, i drank honey like water, for 2/3 days, and I get relief for 15 days only. what's the best way to cure it permanently? can anyone suggest any remedies?
Hi Bala first of all, its really good that you have tried honey on your ulcers as it is very beneficial and has no side effects. I think you can try over-the-counter gels for eradicating these ulcers but the best way, which I would suggest for people like you who have chronic ulcers, is not drinking but sipping water every 5 minutes to keep your mouth wet and avoid dryness of the oral membranes.
In chinese culture we always say that ulcers are a indication that your body is 'hot' or 'heaty'. Drinking lots of water usually works, and also brewing a bunch of chinese tea's and eating fruits that are deemed 'cold' to counter the 'heatiness'. Applying salt to the wound also helps kill bacteria on the infection and it often shrivels up quickly from then on. It hurts a bit though. Chinese herbal medicine has a wintermelon powder which I apply whenever I have an ulcer, and by far that's worked the best in addition to drinking lots of water.
Yes I agree with you Tina that ulcers are sometimes caused by heat created inside our body but there are many other things also involved like infection, stomach related problems, and other things which I have written in the hub and discussed in the comments above. I have not heard about applying salt to the wound helps kill bacteria and cures infection, that's a new thing which I came across. I do not know much about chinese herbal medicines and would be highly grateful if you can give me the link where I can get wintermelon powder for curing mouth ulcers or stomatitis.
I do not know what either vegemite or wintermelon are but will look them up. I do know that sometimes if you take a probiotic powder or capsule and suck it around in your mouth repeatedly, it sometimes heals faster. And the more water suggestion is good also. Thanks for a lot of info!
you are welcome frogyfish.
Thank you for this hub-it has helped me recognise some things that may cause ulcers.I usually get them from eating sour things like sweets and eating food that rub against the top of my mouth like lollipops-which also sometimes have sharp and rough edges which is also another way i get ulcers.I find that rubbing salt on help it to heal faster and has a temporally numbness effect.I will try the honey.
Thanks Ashley for such a nice comment and for sharing your problem over here. I agree that salt helps a lot when applied on the mouth ulcers and it has a numbing effect for sometime, but for long-term cure, try honey.
HU-Tricks or Hub-Treats...I rated your Hub UP of coarse! Send a trick or treat to another hubber in the spirit of this Hub Halloween! Great info on mouth ulcers, caused by acid...can lemon juice help?...It sure does burn!!!
Thanks a lot Doborah for the visit and ratings. I will definitely pass on the favor to another hubber in the spirit of Hub Halloween.
I am right now suffering from these dreadful mouth ulcers. They keep coming back every month. my family (maternal side) has a long history of mouth ulcers. I also feel like they come full force just before my menstrual cycle. I will definitely try out the honey and water remedy. hope it works for me.
Yes it will work K Kiss. Don't get upset. These ailments are very common and most people experience these. Don't worry you will be alright with the use of honey and water remedy. Best of luck. Wish you good health.
I ussually have mouth ulcers during cold sessons,this time round i experience a very hard time,had this mouth ulcers which lasted for 2 weeks,i couldnt eat nor talk,they were very painful.in our family only mum and i have this problem.what medicine should we buy
I think you should purchase Boiron Homeopathic Medicine Borax, 6C Pellets, 80-Count Tubes (Pack of 5) here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G7QZT6?ie=UTF
@ Eileen Hughes (#1)
Same here - I get mouth ulcers after eating bananas - no one believes me when I say so -- but good to find another person who has the same allergy
Srikanth, welcome to hubpages. Sometimes people experience allergies to things which are very doubtful just like you and Eileen are experiencing mouth ulcers with eating bananas. It is a matter of fact and no one can deny it that everything which happens in this world is not only common but can change from a person to person. There are individual differences. Some people are allergic to fish oil as discussed in my new hub, "side effects of fish oil" and other experience benefits from it. Bananas are rich in iron and are considered to be very good for our health but then also it is not the fact for everyone. Even one hubber, I think exellus, has published in his hub that the eating banana increases sexual drives but this also differs in person to person.
Thanks for the guide! Will try out this. Also, swilling hot water around the ulcer us painful but soothes it for a good while after. Thanks again!
It's my pleasure Bukurago. Happy New Year.
Hi,
Wow it is an amazing hub and the article.Really I can't see this type of information.How can it is possible to you ?
Definitely every tongue ulcer persons get benefits from here..
Thanks for your work..
It's my pleasure tongue ulcer that you have found this hub useful and correct.
Hi,
I am a part time student with a full time job. I noticed that whenever deadline for my assignment is near, ulcer came popping out from nowhere. Ater reading the article, i realise that most likely, it is due to stress. Thanks so much for your information
i suffer from mouth ulcers every 2 or 3 weeks. i get 1-4 each time.no honey helps for me. i tried also basil, they say its good but i noticed no difference.also i tried many medicines for ulcers but theres no good result.sometimes i get these ulcers and they hurt a lot. i cant eat i cant drink water and i cant do anyting.
help pls for the above cooment. Also note that fluoride from toothpaste harms mouth ulcers. so try and buy a natural toothpaste without fluoride.
Pamboos for your request on natural toothpaste without fluoride visit here:
Amazon.com: toothpaste without fluoride http://bit.ly/aZNAD1
For getting ultimate relief from your mouth ulcers, drink a sip of water every half 15 minutes.
Hi,
I felt mouth ulcer and went to a doctor. he recomended me "Folic Acid", I took it and after that i read indication,
Megaloblastic anaemias of infancy and pregnancy Nutritional macrocytic.
I laughed a lot. I am a boy hahahaha and became pregnant :d
Anyways, i researched about it then i understand.
Really at that time LOL.
hahahaha oh boy that was really funny dear.
the honey remedy do u need to put the honey in water
No no Gemma, you don't need to add water to the honey, the saliva in your mouth will work as water. Now gargle honey in your mouth for at least 10 minutes and then swallow or spit out because honey is natural and will not cause any harm if you will swallow it.
Hi
Have had MU since i was 7 now nearing 40... I dont get one but several... NOne of the lotions and potions have ever helped. ANd no doctor or specialist has ever found a cause just that my iron level seens to drop as well. Looking forward to trying the honey... thank you Soni2006!
Salt and water mouth washes helps a little and I do not know why but drinking coke ... swishing it around my mouth also help momentarily (but also not good for you for other reasons)...I also keep chewable iron tabs in my bag and take the minute i feel them coming on.
Good luck everyone!
... sorry forgot to mention... it also helps to have great dental hygiene AND to do this and not cause loads of pain I brush with a childrens or babies toothpaste (less fluride and harsh additives eg sharp flavours .. mint etc).
And if all else fails Nurophen (or any non steroidal anti imflams)
Hi Honey, now all has failed for you in treating mouth ulcers, go ahead and try the honey, honey. Best of luck.
Good day to you...I usually get mouth sores, even though i dont have any vices, i have a proper oral hygiene but still mouth sores are bothering me....usually i get 2 to 3 lesions of mouth sores and it really hurts,...regarding on youre advice on honey does it really works?...thank you so much
nice info should help alot but if you do not treat them, about how long will it take for it to just go awaay
@Rey, yes honey really helps in decreased mouth ulcers as I have mentioned above. Go ahead and try it on your own.
@dude with ulcer, it depends from person to person that how much time a mouth ulcer takes to go away. Also, consult your ENT specialist if it is very long to disappear.
i have mouth ulcer when weather change!
plz help me!! to prevent this curse...ouch!!! and not to back
sorry for my poor english XD
Hi jet, please try honey for your mouth ulcers as I have mentioned above. Honey will definitely help in soothing and curing your painful ulcers.
ok mr soni tnx a lot..
mr soni what im going to do to prevent my uler permanently?
Jet for that you can buy Orahealth Avamin Melts, 60-Count Box listed above in Amazon widget.
ok mr soni!
they have Orahealth Avamin Melts here in philippines?
Okay buy it from there jet. Best of luck.
ok thank a lot mr soni!
how long will it take?
It depends from person to person, usually it takes 5 to 10 days for the symptoms to totally disappear and then in 15 to 20 days it can be eradicated completely. Some people having gastro problems need to treat that first before beginning this treatment.
thanks a lot mr soni!!
more power to you
It's my pleasure jet.
mr soni!
my mom asking if oralhealth avamin melts is already available here in philippines?
Brother I am not sure of this. Please check with your local pharmacist regarding the same.
sir soni how to use honey?
any kind of honey is ok to use?
Yes jet, you can use any branded honey. It's okay to use.
hi hub,
i have a mouth ulcer at the moment. It makes me really stresed when it doesnt go away. i have had it for adleast 2 months now and every night and morning i do the salt water trick. sometimes it will go down but then it will quickly get big again. i try not to bite it and sometimes skip meals so that the food doesnt irratate it. Nothing works and i am begginging to get really depressed about it. sometimes i even cry. i am embarrased to kiss my boyfriend because of it. i really need it gone by this week but it just keeps getting bigger! i have been to the docter and he said it will go away otherwise they could do a medical procedure on it where they cut it off but i cant deal with pain and i dont know how long it will take to heal. please, please help me!!! i almost cry every night because of it. i hate it and i want it to go away!
I don't know why your doctor has given up so early and wants to try to treat it surgically by excising it. This is cruel as there are several remedies mentioned above. I think you should try honey treatment I have mentioned above,. Try for two more days and don't stress out so much. Stress increases mouth ulcers. If not feel better in two days, go ahead for Orahealth Avamin Melts also mentioned above and it will go away. What happens is that when we have a mouth ulcer and we do not soothe it, then we keep on irritating it with our fingers, tongue, or teeth. Most of the time mouth ulcers go way as soon as we sooth them and forget them that they are with us and pain and constant irritation does not let us feel it can go away so fist step should be to sooth with honey and if no improvement buy an oral sore anesthetizing gel and apply on your mouth ulcers. It will soothe your constant pain and irritation by anesthetizig the area and then after some time your ulcers will completely go away. Best of luck Missy.
Don't worry so much. You will be able to kiss your boyfriend.
hey hub. great pages but i was wondering if you knew of any treatments that could get rid of the ulcer in 24 hours? I have tried the honey trick and it doesnt work. thanks
It is not possible to get treated with mouth ulcers in 24 hours. I honey does not work for you, then you can try oral sore anesthetizing gel for instant relief of pain and irritation and apply it according to directions. You ulcer will heal in 72 hours.
Will the honey thing work if you just apply it to the ulcer? Or do u have to gargle it?
Also, you can get your doctor to prescribe you viscous lidocaine. It doesn't heal the ulcer, but it numbs it very, very, very, very well.
That's what I have talked above, you just told us the generic name of the oral sore anesthetizing gel mentioned above, viscous lidocaine, thanks for that. Yes it works as an anesthetic and numbs away the oral sores for some time being and in between that period if a person will keep on applying and gargling with honey, it will take away the sores completely.
very helpful thank to you and you granny
Thanks a lot Ben Lee. My granny is no more but her advice and love has remained with us.
You might try to see if you can get a medicine called Aphthasol (generic name amlexanox). It won't prevent the sores but it helps to greatly cut down their length and severity.
I'm starting to wonder if bananas are my problem. I've been getting these things non-stop again after quite a while free of them. I notice that after I eat a banana my mouth stings/tingles a little. Anyway, thanks for the info.
@Orpheus, thanks a lot for telling us about Aphthasol (amlexanox) medicine to calm up mouth ulcers. I will check it out today.
Hi same here, after eating banana I get a lot of mouth ulcers, that's why, now I stay away from them
I have been havin MU for all my childhood but My MU disappeaed 10 years back when i Started Smoking, but 6 mothes back it became to appear again from the next week I stopped smoking.
What do you think?
Cammomile extract poured directly on a swab and then applied to the sore helps a lot to reduce pain (after initial application!) and heal fast.
try cardamom powder...it burns but ulsers are out within hours
Thanks a lot Ravz, Blonde, guest, and dolie for providing your advice on treatment of mouth ulcers, but I am really surprised by the problem Blonde is having. She is getting rid of mouth ulcers with smoking. I don't know what it is?
i have a mouth ulcer right now
mine are caused by bad diets cos i dont eat fruit or veg and i forget to brush my teeth reguraly so yea i feel very bad but plz dont upset me im only 12 and i get them all the time can someone plz find a cure?
I recommend you to buy Boiron Homeopathic Medicine Borax, 6C Pellets, 80-Count Tubes (Pack of 5) here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G7QZT6?ie=UTF
Apply directly to the mouth ulcers.

I'm am only 11 and ulcers kill me. I hate them. I read the comments above and none of those things happen to me. Except maybe get stressed. I hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard that brushing it to release the blood and then applying salt could help. truth or fact?
I've had consistent ulsers since I can remember, i'm 17 now and i'm trying to figure out if i'm allergic to something like toothpaste or something.
I googled 'banana cause ulcer' and ended up here! Hahaha! It's uber comforting to know that i'm not weird and there're others like me! Lalala!
when i get ulcer, i usually used bonjela =) it works for me... just feel numb for 3mins and the pain goes, few hrs later the ulcery thing disappear
I often get ulcers on the corners of the bottom lip, but as of late I've been getting ulcers on my gum that leaves me in excruciating pain.
Currently I have one on my cheeck, 1 on my gum (on my bottom row of teeth), 1 right next to the previous ulcer though it is right on the part of my mouth where my lip attaches to my gum and I also have another one coming through on my gum in the center of my bottom row of teeth.
I have no allergies and it hurts to brush the ulcers but I think tomorrow I'm going to get honey, salt, vegemite and maybe even some bonjella because I feel as if I can't even live with these ulcers. I can't talk for long periods of time because the over-movement of my mouth writhes me in pain, and when I eat I can only open my mouth the tiniest bit due to the ulcer on my gum/lip.
i have mouth sores all over my mouth it is so painful.i suffered for almost 1 a year. it cures after i take medrol for 1 week..but when i stop taking medrol my sores returned again .i suffered to much what will i do? please help me
Yeah I bit my mouth twice a few days ago, one on my upper lip and one on my lower lip. They have both become some nasty ulcers and they are really really annoying. I just feel like tearing my lips off!

Hi all, a quick update. A week on & NO ULCERS. even after biting my cheek while eating which usually always results in a whopper.
Hope others are enjoying similar improvements.
I often have mouth ulcer ( roughly every 3 months) even though I drink 8 glasses of plain water every day. May be due to work stress or lack of vitamin of B complex.

Hello anonymous, I am really concerned about your case but from what you have written, you need to urgently meet an otolaryngologist (ENT specialist) in your area who would be first of all able to diagnose your problem with proper physical examination.
hi again, i tried using honey like you suggested to the others..i actually felt some pain at the ulcer beside my wisdom tooth..so in this case is it still something abnormal?
if using honey, how many days does it take to heal?
can i apply bonjela after using honey or vise versa?

Hi. I have two ulcers on my top lip. Have tried many things, including Iglu. Not much good to be honest. Had ulcers all my life but can go 6 weeks or so without any. But when they come back, they come back with a vengeance! Not tried honey. Do i apply it to the ulcer as they are on my lip? TCP used to speed up recovery, but not this time round. :(
author you probably mislead me and the other hundreds of thousands of other people who are honestly looking for a remedy for mouth ulcers yet all you did is made a BIG lie by telling us that honey would cure it but IT DIDNT! LIAR!
hii
av been having mouth ulcers ever since i filled my tooth.
I feel a lot of pain and also the tooth that i filled pains too i need help. how do i finish this disease? its so irritating.
will the honey treatment sting? Be honest because I have an ulser so bad I can't smile, laugh, barely talk or eat and I'm starving.! So does it sting.?
hii
i Have an ulcer from last couple of yrs....i took medicine but it not work....i need permanent solution for this.What should i do??
HI all, there is a trusted way 2 get rid of mouth ulcers.try once there is 100 percent cure . in the morning on empty stomach drink lots of water, after 2 minutes with your brush or fingers throw out all water , u vill feel bitter water coming out . u vil also feel bit tired , repeat it every week , even there vill b no foul smell from mouth, ulcers happens because of bad stomach , try 2 eat fibre , at least must give it a try once
What a lovely and helpful site. I'm off to try some honey now! Thank you.
i have this ulcer today this is a very painfull i am drinking coold water and milk but i am not right now. i think this is a couse of stomach ulcer .
Ok, so i think I had an allergic reaction to some medicine and now I have 100's of ulcers in my mouth.. I have tried everything, Listerine, Honey, peroxide, water, saltwater, yogurt, medication... and they are actually increasing in number.
and this is the first time in my life that it has been like this.
I feel so bad for you fellow humans that have to deal with this sh!t every month or so.
I have to say that i can't even think of life without this pain... I cannot talk, eat, sleep...
what have I done to deserve this???
Oh Lord help me!!!
I am gonna try prayer as well.
Tell my wife I love her man!
Tried it ... So far so great .. Thanx lots love
Bananas are the main cause for me as well. Same with Dubble Bubble gum and to some extend chocolate.
I think were just going to have to deal with them
A month back I had a bout of mouth ulcers and its come up again (a month later). Been to a couple docs etc.. So far.. This what I've been advised.. When you feel it starting, take acyclovir which helps reduce severity.
I had it bad so I've been on prednizone and Zelitrex.
Warm salt water for gargling burns open sores but add a bit of bicarbonate soda.. its more alkaline so doesnt burn.. gives some temporary relief.
And I've smeard some honey on before sleeping which burns and tingles a bit at first..
But with all that... It seems 2 weeks is what it takes to clear!
A good remedy. Thnx to ur grandmother!
I think guys you all should try applying glycerin it will pain a little but it will cure your ulcer quickly.
Excellent Tips soni. Thanks for sharing
Thanks soni! I have a really painful mouth ulcer on the back of my tongue. I just had quite a big filling done on the toothe next to it and all of a sudden it feels quite sharp, is that because it is and has caused the ulcer or because my ulcer's more sensitive than the rest of my mouth? Also thanks for telling us about the honey thing, I won't have to go and get corsodyl tomorrow! :D
Omg, the wintermelon powder soothes my ulcers all the time! You should really try it! It's like oral aid but the only difference is that it doesnt hurt when you apply it on your ulcers. I really recommend it.

is it normal for an ulcer to go inwards like a crater? because i have one that goes in like a hole :( please help!
i have two ulcers in my mouth and it really helps if you just put salt straight on it. it hurts like hell but it works real good. salt mixed with warm water helps too. :)
gargle with salt water really does help~although is a bit painful~take loads of fruits especially things like watermelon~~C:
I usually get my ulcers near the throat, its really irritating as i cant swallow anything, and usually when the ulcers are near my throat i usually get high fever, is that possible soni, and i cant seem to find the real thing to what i am allergic to, need advice somi thnx
I'm suffering from Mouth Sore for three days.Please help me to cure it.
Yes l have tried salt to burn off any mouth ulcers and l think it does work but you have to do it like 6 times a day to give you some relief and speed up the healing process.
Vegimite should work to the same degree as it is very high in salt content.Use the normal vegemite and not the newer cheesymite which is blended with a cheese mixture.
l am suffering at the moment and started the day with salt and salty water treatments and ended up using manuka honey. l have some relief and hope these will cure them much quicker.

Recently ,I have a big painful cut on my lip ,and I so know that it's gonna turn into an ulcur cuz' I've had ulcurs all my life (11 years). It's Saturday , so I have the whole Sunday to fuss over it. I've written a full page about how to cure them ;I've got my jug of honey ,a cup of wintermelon tea, a can of salt , a gallon of water with 2 cups( one for backup ),and finally -highlighted ,printed ,read copy of the instructions from Soni2006. I am prepared to do this.
I love pineapples
FYI: Bacteria can not grow in honey, that maybe the reason it helps with mouth ulcers because so much bacteria develops in the mouth. With the use of honey it cuts the bacteria content of the mouth allowing the ulcer to heal.
I've had mouth ulcers for over 30 years. I would suggest swilling the mouth with warm milk or a milk based drink to aleviate the pain and brush your teeth with a natural toohtpaste as regular toothpaste contains Sodium lauryl sulfate which is an irritant. Personally I feel alcohol is a major culprit along with stress. Hope this helps...
hey guys mouth ulcers can also be healed temporary by pomegranate sauce, its a thick sauce that stings the ulcer and helps it heal quicker. just handle the pain for a couple of seconds and doing this twice a day will help heal it in no time. the sauce is usually used in middle eastern foods and can be bought from any african or middle eastern shop. hope this helps!
hey i get mouth ulsers all the time but i notice that it is always after a night out drinking...?

soak Canna Edulus( Sabja) for 10-15 mins in small amount of water. Mix them with coold milk. Add some sugar if you want. And have it like a cold- coffe. :-)
It really helps to reduce the pain.

Many mouth ulcers are caused by sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). It is a common foaming agent in most tooth past and mouth wash. Switch to a tooth paste that is SLS free and your mouth ulcers may go away and never return! Hope that helps.
For over 20 years I have suffered with mouth ulcers, stomach problems and other health related items. A few months ago I quit using most toothpastes (I had tried many brands) quite by accident a friend offered me some toothpaste to try. It worked no more problems seems that most of the other toothpastes I had been using contained fluoride and other items. The toothpaste I was loaned and tried contains not of these detrimental chemicals.
If you have been searching for an answer to crap toothpaste look at the following website

I have been getting mouth ulcers for years and nothing is helping, it starts off on a gum them spreads rapidly over my lips. Its so bad i cant even close my mouth. My lips have lost the top layer of skin and are all crusty and scabby, i can hardly talk and cant eat unless i try and chuck tiny bits of food to the back of my throat. Every time i cough or sneeze my lips burst open! My face is swollen and its agony. Every docotor i have seen has told me a different thing. It takes up to 3 weeks to heal and i loose so much weight im even more sick!

my mouth ulcers are caused from an alergy. I finally found out that every time I eat a banana I would get a mouthful of ulcers. Hence no more bananas. theyare painful. sometimes I put vegemite on them it sure stings but helps to rid my mouth of them.
