Answers:
The most common type of mouth ulcers are called 'apthous' ulcers.. They are probably viral.. (though no virus has been identified..)This means they should not be given antibiotics as there have no effect.. There behaviour is similar to cold sores, in that they are recurrent, come out when we are run down and we never seem to develop immunity.. Here the similarity ends, because unlike herpetic cold sores there is no treatment..
Each ulcer lasts about 10 days, but you can get further crops erupting, so each episode may last longer than that..
Ice,ice cream and cold soft items, become the easiest things to eat.. Teething gels sometimes help.. There are 2 prescription drugs for apthous ulcers, Corlan Pellets and Adcortyl in Orobase paste.. Both are steroids, only reduce the nipping a bit and neither hastens resolution..Health Question & Answer

yeah ulcers are really bad......ive always been very prone to them myself..
i always use this antibacterial mouthwash called sterisol that simply kills the bacteria in your mouth
you can buy it at any drugstore..
i use it after i eat and brush my teeth, then i gargle with it for a minute (just to make sure it really cleans my mouth out) and then i dont eat or dirnk for atleast another hour after using the mouthwash....
i do this 2-3 times a day depending on how bad the ulcers are
of course you probabaly know that you shouldnt eat/drink anything that is tomato-based, citrus fruits, chocolate, sodas......anything thats going to make it worse
however, if you actually do have 12 ulcers in your mouth right now, i personally would be concerned and i would either phone my dentist, or atleast mention it to him/her at my next appointmentHealth Question & Answer

Mouth ulcers should not be in your mouth for longer than about ten days, My suggestion is gargle with warm salt water.. this is a natural antiseptic and make an appointment to see your dentist.. This doesn't right, you shouldn't have so many ulcers and they should be taking so long to go away.. Please go to the dentist just to make sure it isn't anything seriousHealth Question & Answer
