My mouth and tongue are covered in ulcers and cuts. Its really sore and painful. Anything I can do to relieve the pain? I have put bonjela on but have gone through a whole tube in less than a day!
Hey K99. I saw my doctor and they recommended something that you just get out of boots! (I was told that its just as effective as anything that the docs can prescribe). I forget what is called but it works a treat. If i get an ulcer i pop it this stuff on at bedtime and my ulcer is pretty much gone by the morning. You might have to use it the next night just to give it a final blast though. All i can remember is that it comes in a tiny tube and the little box it comes in is white with purple and blue on it. A must buy for ulcer sufferers!!
To prevent the pain, use a toothpaste that doesn't contain Sodium lauryl sulphate. I use Sensodyne total care gel. I understand your problem as I too suffer.

As MsBehave states, Adcortyl is the only thing that works. Also, try taking some Vitamin B Complex tablets for 3 months. I had the same trouble as you, took the tablets and haven't had an ulcer for more than 5 years - good luck.
My little sis had ulcers that kept coming back for over 2 years, we just thought it was normal until the dentist told us it could be leukemia!! but thankfuly it was only anemia and thats pretty easy to treat.My advice is se your doc, its the best thing really
