Does anyone have a problem with mouth sores? I just started having them this month. What advice can you give.
@A MyLupusTeam Member I use Orajel antiseptic rinse and it specifically says for mouth sores. It costs about $ 6 at Wal-Mart. Works fast on the pain and actually heals the sores a little each day.
4 life toothpaste helps me tremendously. My mouth sores are gone in days. It has natural antibiotics. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
I use Kank it.........it puts a layer over the sore and makes it better for a lil,while. Also my doctor prescribes me magic mouthwash and I think that's what helps clear them up.
Ask your Rheumie for "Costanzi Solution". It's awesome! It's often used for chemo patients with sores.
Unfortunately, it is a "compounded" Rx, so you have to give the pharmacy a day or so to mix the liquid up.
It contains several meds to clear up the ulcers. Not all of them are listed on my bottle, but a few are lidocaine, Benadryl, neomycin, nystatin, etc.
I was introduced to this "nectar of the Gods" ๐ when I had so many aphthous ulcers in my mouth that they were running down my throat!
It must be kept in the refrigerator.

Warm salt water rinse has eased mine the last 2 days.
@A MyLupusTeam Member....I can relate. My Rhumy did not want to say I have Lupus because sometimes my ANA tests would be negative. Took her 2 years to finally say it is Lupus.
