Canker sores (apthous ulcers) are not found on the gum, but on the loose skin of the lips and cheeks. There is no known cause, although there have been many suggestions, including a reaction to the lauryl sulfate found in most toothpastes.\nThe most effective treatment is a topical corticosteroid ointment in a waterproof base such as Kenalog in Orabase. Antibiotics or antiseptics have no effect.

There are different "types" of canker sores but, in general, that term refers to a type of ulcer called "aphthous ulcers."  These ulcers are occur on the inside of lips, tongue, and throat (soft tissues in the mouth).  It is unclear exactly what causes them, but some believe them to be a result of Coxsackie virus, a relatively harmless virus known for causing colds.  In addition, it is believed that trauma to the mouth, including from regular brushing and irritation from certain components in most toothpastes (sodium lauryl sulfate, in particular).  Start using a toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulfate in it (such as Rembrandt Canker Sore).  Your physician can also prescribe certain mouthwashes ("magic mouthwash") with certain ingredients in it such as lidocaine, triamcinolone, and diphenhydramine which can make them more comfortable until they clear.

At 9 months old pretty much all the medication is labeled as "consult doctor first".  Not until after 2 should you really start following label directions without a doctor's advice.\n\nSo my advice would be make an appointment with her pediatrician for as early as you can today.\n\nOther than that keep her warm but not over bundled.  Use layers.  Offer her lots of liquids, extra juice and water.  Run a humidifier if you can.

it depends on how far the infection has gone. If it has been afflicting your child for over a few days, you should go to the doctor and they will give you antibiotics to treat it. Not the best course of action, but if it is rooted in the child then it is better left to the doctors. For future reference, bad bacteria can be routed early with lots of vitamin C and regulation of water intake - 8 glasses of water a day and a few extra servings of fruit would be sufficient, along with a supplement. If you seek herbal remedies, Echeanacea is an excellent choice for any illness, all the way from the common cold to an infection like this one. \n\nLong and short - if its new and the child is over 2 years old, get vitamin C supplements (ester-C is wonderful) and give it more water. if it has been in the child for a few days, seek medical treatment at a hospital or your family doctor.

By mouth ulcers do you mean the ulcers inside the mouth or fever blisters on the lips?  Both are caused by the herpes simplex type 1 virus which is the most common herpes simplex virus and it's usually acquired in childhood.  The best cure for ulcers in the mouth would be to rinse several times a day with warm salt water... it has a natural healing affect on the gums and surrounding tissues.  Use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of warm water.  If it is a fever blister you have on your lip I would advise you to try Abreva which can be purchased over-the-counter and use as directed.

Canker sores usually go away without any treatment. For pain relief, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other medicines, such as Anbesol, Oragel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing your teeth. You put these medicines right on the sore.\n\nYou can also mix equal amounts of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl Allergy liquid. After it's mixed, you can swish a teaspoonful in your mouth for about 1 minute and then spit it out. If you do this every 4 to 6 hours, your canker sores may hurt less.\n\nSome people think that sucking on zinc lozenges, taking vitamin C or vitamin B complex, using a sage-and-chamomile mouthwash or taking a lysine supplement helps their canker sores heal faster.

Canker sores, also known as mouth ulcers, apthous stomatitis and ulcerative stomatitis, are small painful ulcerations that have yellow-gray centers and a red border. \n\nUsually 1-2mm wide, they occur on non-keratinized mucosa inside the mouth: the inner side of the lips, the tongue, the back and floor of the mouth and the wall of the cheeks. They do not occur on the lips, the gums or the hard roof of the mouth. Ulcers can be single or can occur in clusters.\n\nThe cause of canker sores is uncertain, however, associations with human herpesvirus 6, food sensitivities, stress, and nutrient deficiencies have been suggested. They generally take 1-2 weeks to heal and may recur monthly or several times per year. \n\nCanker sores must be differentiated from drug allergies, herpes simplex infection, Behcet's syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and squamous cell carcinoma.

In severe cases, systemic glucocorticoids may be prescribed.\n\nTherapeutic Considerations\n\n1) Avoid toothpastes containing sodium lauryl sulfate\nSodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is an irritant detergent commonly found in toothpaste. People with recurrent canker sores may benefit by switching to a brand of toothpaste that does not contain SLS, which is believed to abrade the protective mucus layer in the mouth and increase the likelihood of developing canker sores. \n\nResearch studies have found a decreased incidence of recurrent canker sores after two months of avoiding SLS, however, one double-blind study did not support this finding. \n\n2) Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)\nDGL is the herb licorice that has had the glycyrrhizic acid removed, the portion that can increase blood pressure. In one research study, DGL was found to promote the healing of canker sores, with a 50-75% improvement in one day. This study used a mouthwash made of powdered DGL mixed with water. \n\nAlternately, DGL tablets can be chewed with water, swished in the mouth and swallowed.\n\n3) Identify and eliminate food sensitivities with an elimination and challenge diet\nFood sensitivities, especially to gluten-containing foods (wheat, rye, barley, oats), have been found clinically to be associated with recurrent canker sores. \n\nThe microscopic appearance of the sores and the increased antibodies to certain food antigens in some people with recurrent canker sores support this theory. Double-blind studies, however, have yet to confirm this.\n\n4) Decrease dietary intake of nitrites\nCured and processed meats, such as bacon, sausage and ham, are high in nitrites. One study found that the risk of esophageal cancer was seven times greater in individuals with a history of canker sores. The authors report that canker sores may be an indicator of a high conversion of nitrites to carcinogenic nitrosamines.\n\n5) Vitamin C\nVitamin C works directly against viruses and has been found to inhibit the herpes virus in vitro. In addition, it inhibits the formation of nitrosamines from dietary nitrites, found in bacon, ham, sausages and other processed meats, and from dietary nitrates, found in vegetables and other foods.\n\n6) Nutrient Deficiency\nThiamin (vitamin B1) deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of canker sores. Other nutrients that have been found to be low in people with recurrent canker sores include riboflavin (vitamin B2), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and iron. A health practitioner can assess nutrient status. \n\nReferences \n\n1. Lininger S, Gab

1.  Clove Oil was recommended in the movie Marathon Man.\n2.  Gargling you mouth with warm water and salt is the dentist approved method.\n3.  Xytol is an ingredient in sugarless gums that helps to fight cavities.  Putting a "bandage" of this gum over a open hole in the tooth keeps out cold air, and other problems.  When I used this method I was able to eat hot soup and ice cream with no pain.\n4.  Typical over the counter medications like Aleve will help with the pain.\n5.  Ora Jell is used to treat teething babies.  If you inject Ora Jell into your cavity it will numb up the sensitive tissues.\n\nFrom personal experience Trident gum works the best for me.  I couldn't get an appointment for a while and I went for an entire week with gum bandages.  Of course you want to make sure the area is clean first so have her brush her teeth.  Most of the pain of a cavity comes from external influences, anything from incoming air to food can irritate it.

Yes, it is called a Carafate Slurry. As is already noted, it coats the oral mucositis ulcers to help lessen pain. Another option is a combination of viscous lidocaine, benadryl and maalox.  The lidocaine gives almost instant topical pain relief.

You are fortunate to still be around at 42.  The best you can do is a good diet.\n\nSee if you can find a book called "Dick Gregory's Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat: Cookin' With Mother Nature."\n\nHe is a flaming liberal from the 1960's, he is not a dietician, but the book is probably the best thing you can read at this point.\n\nAlso see if you can find a "mom and pop" health food store and talk to them about your problem (not GNC, but a home-grown health food store that sells bulk grains, herbs, and soy milk.\n\nMy mother had ulcerative colitis and finally died in her 50s of a bleeding ulcer, 10 years after stopping going to doctors.\n\nI had a friend in her mid 20s with Chrone's, but I haven't seen her in 4 years, since I moved.\n\nIt is trouble with your digestive system, so you should look at it from the viewpoint of healing your digestive system.\n\nThe SECRET for ulcers:  Cabbage juice has healing qualities.

I get ulcers in my mouth. My doctor told me it's allergies. They gave me a great cure. I'v never had my ulcers feel better or go away quicker. It's stuff you can get over the counter. You mix Benidryl and Kaopectate and swish it around in your mouth then spit it out. :^)
