I’ve just started getting mouth ulcers though.. I am prone to getting sores inside my mouth anyway if I eat crisps or spicy foods and I usually dab corsodyl on them and it seems to help.
does anyone have any tried and tested solutions for this?
thanks so much in advance

Rinse with warm salt water. I also asked my doctor to call in Valtrex. My kids swear by it. They say if you take it when you feel o sore coming on, it takes it away. I just got my first one. It was already going away before I got the medication. Also, avoid anything acidic if you feel like you are getting one. I avoid tomatoes and any citrus fruits. Hope that helps.
I used salt water too - I also brushed my teeth quite often with a soft brush. I found out the hard way that Corsodyl can make your teeth turn black! Horrific. I hope your ulcers clear up soon.
