7 months agoI am just dealing with this. They popped up everywhere. I am doing warm salt water rinse or baking soda and then I put coconut oil on the sore and around my entire mouth on the inside. They have healed pretty quick with minimal discomfort. I also try and stay on top of vitamin c and D to help with immune.

7 months agoMy doc is calling in a script for magic mouthwash: liquid Benadryl, mylanta and liquid lidocaine. Can’t wait to pick it up. I have a couple doozies under my tongue that are really painful!

7 months agoThank you I may need to ask for that. I woke up and they were everywhere. I will specifically ask for that if need be. My second opinion dr just told me they didn't care about the sores smh.

7 months agoMy insurance doesn’t cover it, but it’s worth every penny to numb this pain. I’m definitely going to try ice chips in my mouth during Thursday’s treatment.

7 months agoFYI I've noticed this has started affecting my kidneys. So I want to make sure I help my kidneys with excretion. Juicing some and increasing fluid intake. Watch for cloudy urine. ❤
