How can i reduce my chronic Mouth ulcers?!

Go for natural remedies, eat soothing food like dates and bananas. They will give your body a rest from heavy food and the body will heal itself because that's what it does best!

I just asked a similar question. I have 3 ulcers right now, its bloody painful! i was told:

"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 is now only one prescription drug for apthous ulcers, Corlan Pellets, it is a steroid, it only reduces the nipping a bit and does not hasten resolution"

I am also told that hydrogen peroxide at 3% can help, although hydrogen peroxide stronger than 6% is a dangerous chemical so please speak with a pharmasist about what you intend to use it for before purchasing it from them.

I recommend that you;
*Take multivitamin + multi-mineral supplements, you can buy these from Tesco, usually in a gray bottle.
*Drink plenty of water
*Try a different toothpaste, I recommend a colgate brand, perhaps a whitening one.
*Use a mouthwash, I recommend Listerine. Note that with mouth ulcers it will be very pain-full but trust me, it will work. Swirl it around for 30 seconds.
*Brush your teeth for 2 minutes at a time, making sure that you brush not only your teeth but your cheeks, gums, tongue and roof of the mouth.
*Visit your GP, I used to suffer with "frequent" ulcers and they gave me tablets to dissolve in my mouth.

Try a salt water gargle to clean the mouth, perhaps you have a damaged tooth causing a scratch to the mouth or tongue failing that see your dentist or doctor for treatment

go to your Dr, maybe you have oral thrush?
yes, very painful, you need prescription medication to get rid of it!
throw out your toothbrush and buy a new one.

Any ulcers that last more than five to seven days need to be looked at by a dentist for a confirmed diagnosis. Particularly if you smoke, chew tobacco etc etc.

I started using The Canker Spanker about a year ago to get rid of a mouth ulcer outbreak, I haven't had one since. I love this stuff and always have it ordered or on order!

take some multi vitamins ,and get a blood test you may be anemic,
