Discussion: Get better soon. Need anyth...

Get better soon. Need anything?

just to get better quicker. I think the infection might be getting under control now. just need to wait for the sores to heal. super gross!

Sounds evil...everyone I know swears by Kenalog in Orabase, to put on the ulcers, but that's maybe not such a good idea if they're infected. Bicarb soda (or salt) mouthwash can't hurt (though it may sting) and Difflam mouthwash may help healing. Um, isn't there something about vitamin B12 and iron deficiency being linked to mouth ulcers, among other things?

thanks Jenny - I've got antibiotics, + other antibiotics for mouthwash. doc has me taking heaps of vitamins, especially B and zinc. also using soluble asprin as a mouthwash to help control swelling.

I was going to suggest the asprin gargle. I'm guessing you're not running Sat morning. Pop around for breaky and if you stay long enough you can watch me stuff the turkey (it's Christmas this Sat, roll on turkey soup)

asprin gargle is a winner. just went 6 hrs without painkillers, so nearly better. will try and come for a short run on sat. maybe just 30mins thou.
