I was very prone to mouth ulcer in the past. My ulcer usually takes 3 weeks to recover and I can get up to 3 on each outbreak. For years, I have been seeking help from Internet and doctors.

The internet says it is due to stress and advise on taking Vitamin B Complex and western doctors usually give me medicine to apply and Vitamin B and C to heal the wound. All these methods either don't work for me or only temporary resolve it.

Until, I met a doctor fluent in both western and chinese medicine. The first question he asked me " Have you taken sufficient water and green leavely vegetables? "

The question strucked me directly as I seldom drink water and dislike green leavely vegetables. Since then, I begin to drink more water each day and taking more "green" vegetables. I also follow my dad's advise to take cold-water bath rather than heated-water bath. To my surprise, the ulcers recover fast and seldom return anymore. As such, I am taking this opportunity to share with those who happen to come across this Post. Past this to your friend who in need.

hmm...haha...i also get a lot of mouth ulcers cos i chew gum a lot Rolling Eyes

the chinese docs will say that one is too 'heaty' and therefore one gets ulcers.

yeah...water and vit C is very impt to help it heal faster. but cos its usually hard to eat citrus fruits when one has ulcer,try freshly squeezed orange juice instead. NOT those that you can get in cartons from the supermarket Rolling Eyes cos those are too damn sugary.

Wow, thanks for the tips. I am really prone to ulcers so this is good advice. Usually i have them on my tongue which hurt real bad. I do drink lots of water though, but it could be due to my late sleeping and tendency to consume heaty foods.

Great tips! Very Happy

i also got alot of mouth ulcers since i was younger. I hate putting bonjela in my mouth cos it hurts so much. But now dunno why no more already.

turth is there is no exact known cause for mouth ulcers a.k.a canker sore... could be multiple things like vitamin deficiency, the tooth paste you're using or an accedental cut... someone else who have the same diet as you may not get canker sore...

Still advise bonjella, or if ya want or traditional stuff, honey, drink lotsa water and fruits and vegetable to heal up the wound... and obviously don't agravate it by eating spicy food... it also maybe caused by your tooth paste... though unlikey, ya may wanna change your tooth paste...

In the end, still a mystery.....

Wah...

If u really do that when u have mouth ulcers.. I salute to your tolerance to pain...

mochou SG

I dun squeeze but i apply salt on it. Cos i think ulcer will only recover when it has reached the "worst stage". So putting salt on it will make it go to the worst stage faster.

I-like-flings(m) SG

after awhile numb already lah.. that pain is better than those ulcer pain lor..

yes based on my decades of mthly ulcer experience... need to wait till the worst.. then put salt.. if not.. no used too.. then.. u try lah.. squeeze the blood out is better...some chinese doc told mi one haha
