Suggest Remedy For Multiple Painful Canker Sores In Mouth

I have 8 large canker sores inside my mouth. They are very painful, I cant eat and I havent slept in a week. My upper and lower lip is swollen. I researched the internet and tried everything OTC and nature, nothing worked. My left gland on the left side of my neck is very sore. Do you have any advice that can help me?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain canker sores or apthous ulcers can be due to a number of causes like deficiency of iron and vitamin B12, allergic reaction to any food or medication, dry mouth, acid reflux, physical trauma etc..
As in your case it is associated with swelling of lips that can be Angioedema the entire symptoms seems to be due to Allergic reaction to any fod or medication..
I would suggest you to take anti allergics like Levocetrizine..
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen..
Take a multivitamin tablet daily..
Gargle with 1:1 solution of milk of magnesia and benadryl liquid..
Suck ice pops and do cool compresses over lips..
Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water..
Maintain a good oral hygiene..
In case of no improvement in a week consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
