Nasty ulcer at the back of my throat keeping me awake, Help!

[minnie2004]

I have mouth ulcers quite often, whenever I'm weak or don't have enough sleep. Sometimes on the side, sometimes underneath the tongue (that's the most painful one for me ). I tried those mouth gels/cream, gargled with salt water before, but nothing beats the watermelon powder. Sometimes when I'm lucky, I just apply it once before bed, the ulcer is not painful anymore the next day .


It might be a bit bitter if you spray deep into your throat but it's worth a try. :celebrate:

You should try taking colostrum if you have ulcers frequently. A mummy from another forum took colostrum pills and her frequent ulcers and sore throat disappeared.

We are taking this brand called Symbiotics which we purchased from US.

I've seen already, but all I got was some gargle & antibotics which was less than effective, to be frank.

To sooth the pain, suck on ice cube. It helps.
My GP recommended that we made ice cubes with lemon juice (diluted) and suck on those. He also mentioned that if you are not having any problems with breathing, try to take cool drinks.

Honey mixed with lemon is good too. No water after taking it to allow it to stay in the throat to work it's magic.

Hi minnie, you're the 3rd person to advise watermelon powder within a short space of time. Trouble is that the spray that my colleague gave me is still sitting pretty back at my office. Just when I need it most it's not with me, wasted.

Thanks also to mrswong for the advice. I don't usually have ulcers. But when I do, it's usually the commando type ones that are extremely hard to get rid of.

The other one you can try is the manuka propollis spray. Think sprays are easier to use for throat ulcers. Cream or gel, before you can reach the ulcer you’ll be gagging oredi.


That aside, too heaty lah, too much mooncakes issit? Go drink some cooling herbal drinks to put that fire out.

Hope that pesky ulcer has subsided by now.

Yes, the ulcer popped up after I gobbled down a big bag of popcorns.

At my age I should really be watching my diet better. Yes, I agree that spray is definitely more practical as far as deep ulcers are concerned.
Ulcer not as torturing anymore. Thanks for the tips :celebrate:
