Thank you. I’ll try it because it’s been 2 weeks and ulcers still there. I’ve been using magic mouthwash and a dental paste both of which have steroids and don’t seem to be doing anything. So I’ll try salt water rinses. Thanks again!!

I've used salt water rinses instead of the steroid mouthwash per my dentist. He was a lupus patient also and told me to do that when I had an flare-up

I was given magic mouthwash. It taste nasty but helped. Must be prescribed through compounding pharmacy.
