I get them too. I rinse my mouth with Biotene Dry Mouth Oral Rinse. I know what you mean by it really hurting and leaving you with no appetite. Here is some info I pulled for you that may help:
Ribavirin can cause mouth sores and dehydration, which can make your mouth feel dry and have a bad taste.
Ribavirin can cause you to have an allergic reaction that might show up as a rash on your skin. It can also show up as an irritation in your mouth and throat.
I had the one under the tongue at the back of throat and thought I had a sore throatuntil others appeared in one cheek area. Used Biotene mouthwash 3-4 times a day and they started to clear up.. Also had lidocaine swish by prescription to paint on before eating. Didn't 'swish' in mouth because didn't want to bite myself with a numb tongue. It takes a few days for them to start to clear.
He sent me home with prescriptions for pain, and antibiotic, an antibacterial mouth rinse and a lidocaine rinse and instructions to return in two weeks.Today the pain has gotten worse it radiates into my ear and occasionally my eye. I can't imagine having this intense pain for two weeks. My question is since the pain was so much worse today should I call the oral surgeon again or is this in fact something that I have to wait two weeks on?
Why not just rinse with water? Its neutral and would wash away the acid anyways? I don't see the benefit in it necessarily. I was just wondering why it was recommended cause I've never prescribed/recommended it before. I actually have never heard of it before but it doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing though.
Yes, it is pink stuff that you rinse with then swallow. The rinse wasn't so bad, but to swallow, no way. But then I would have to brush my teeth because the stuff stuck to everything. This stuff didn't numb. The only thing I was able to use to numb everything was Orajel. It doesn't last that long, an hour or so, but just long enough for me to be able to eat. Since it has started up again, my doctor just gave me antibodies, and steroids.
BTW- have Biotene toothpaste/rinse-burns, lips are cracked and covered in the densest face cream I can find.
Is your husband on treatment for HCV? I have the same problem with mouth sores...inside my mouth and in the corners of it. The sores inside flare every couple days after my Friday shot..usually by Monday then fade by late Wednesday. A Biotene mouthwash or spray at work helps as does a weak salt/soda solution to rinse with.
The fever concerns me though, especially if he is treating. I think a call to his Dr. may be warranted for that.
Good luck and hope he feels better soon............
t want me to have to have a mouth biopsy. He then referred me to a dentist 60 miles away who was especially interested in and experienced in treating oral lichen planus. He recognized what it was immediately and prescribed a special "rinse and spit" elixir of nystatin and dexamethasone, which I had to use severeal times daily for 2 minutes. It is can be brought on by stress if you are predisposed to it.
I was scared and started tx ( Peginteron sot 1 per wk, riba 2 pills 2 times per day) i have been having side effects that are getting worse, as I am moving into the halfway point...the mouth sores are the latest....what can i do for them? and am I wrong to think that my husband could have just sucked it up until I am done with treatment?
Thanks for reading i just need a friend who understands what I'm going through...
Dip the alcohol purified catheter in a bottle of LIQUID lubricant (KY or less expensive generic brand). Afterward, thoroughly rinse catheter and return to alcohol bath. For ME - can't speak for or recommend to anyone - but for ME, this makes my three times a day procedure so easy and safe, I wouldn't go back to nature's way. When traveling, store caths in zip lock bag with enough alcohol to keep 'em wet. I fly a lot.
What will happen if you don't rinse your mouth out after you use the Proventil HFA inhaler?
How long has he had the spots? Usually mouth problems heal in about 7-10 days. Some of the mouth rinses like what we call "magic mouth wash" it has lidocaine in it which can be a numbing agent. I'm sorry for your little one in such pain. Motrin is better because it has anti-inflamatory in it. "magic mouth wash" has Benadryl, maylox, lidocaine, and I'm not sure what else, but if you are interested I could ask the dentist that I work for what the prescription is.
I apply Abreva or Zoverax on my fingers, vagina and mouth. I have lidocaine gel for vagina, a lidocaine rinse for my mouth, Loratab for pain (have had TONS of pain but only took once), an antihistimine for the itching (haven't tried that).
I am seeing improvement. My gums are less swollen. I was able to eat today. Still have a long way to go.
I've read a lot about a home remedy of: crushing tylenol PM, adding water, Abreva. Its a paste that relieves pain and swelling.
I used a syringe (without a needle of course) to rinse it with water. Lightly dry with clean tissue. Squeeze a large amount of neosporon or generic version onto large sterile bandage, and lay it over wound. Add another bandage to prtect clothing and lift your bra gently over to hold in place. In the future, ask doc to prescribe lidocaine jelly, so that you are prepared in case you get a painful one, just in case. Save it for when you need it. Clean wound twice a day.
