How long do mouth ulcers last? I think I got it by whacking it with my toothbrush!?

Question:

Answers:
Not very long if treated. Try swishing and gargling salt water and using Bonjella to soothe the pain. BTW, the salt water will hurt like hell, but it will kill the bacteria and should help your ulcer heal.

See a dentist, moron.

Rinstead pastilles.

depends how bad it is,usually sticks around for a few days to a week,be carefull while brushing not to hit it again and make it worse

Mine lasted about a week and a half.

It depends. Usually about 4 days but could be longer. Try using some Bonjela

Get stuff called Bongella works a charm it'll be gone when you wake up tomorrow.

they dont last long but if you get some bonjela from your chemist and apply as instructed that can help stop infection and it has a mild anasthetic

that's not an ulcer... sounds more like a cut

Somebody whacked on your toothbrush?!?....well, that explains it.

I got that right now! Same way, my toothbrush slipped and now i have 2 parts where it really hurts, i think it should go within a week but bonjela helps a lot

Try this Grand Ma's recipe.
Squeeze 2-3 lemon's in a bowl full of water with a pinch of salt and drink it empty belly in the morning continue this process for 3 - 4 days and it will vanish.

Hope this helps !!

scrub it with iodized salt painful but effective they will disappear in no time a day i guess

A couple of days, unless you keep knocking it, in which case it will hang around for a bit longer.

You can get Bonjela which is meant to help or just rinse your mouth out with salt water.

You get ulsers from lacking a certain vitamin in your diet.

they can stay in the mouth for ages try some bonjella that should help

It could last for weeks untreated. Rinse youre mouth with salt water during the day and before bed. The solution shouldnt be weak enough that you dont taste it and not strong enough to burn the hell out of it, personal preferance is best. That will get rid of most of the pain and heal it faster.

You probably did not ge the ulcer from "whacking your mouth with a toothbrush". Most ulcers in the mouth are viral in nature and are limited to duration and time. I have never heard of them being contageous unless it is herpes, but those dont usually occur inside of the mouth.

Good treatment that will shorten the duration and relieve the pain -go to your local pharmacist and ask for liquid benadryl and purchase some mylanta. Mix a solution half and half (50/50) rinse (swish around in your mouth) and SPIT the solution out.

Benadryl acts as an antihistamine while the mylanta has a "coating effect". Good reports have been recieved when trying this out>

Mine was just a few days !!! It sucked...

I've done that, or scratched the inside of my mouth (gums) with a ballpoint pen...not bright, I know. You can get drops or a cream like Bonjella to apply to keep the area protected until it heals and stop the pain. They're available without prescription in any pharmacy (chemist).
