Gargle Warm Water saturated with salt

mouthwash Campha phenique

They sell it at drug stores.


Being that she is 8, I think that you should take her to the dr. Rinse with mouthwash and use a little ambesol or oragel to numb the pain. After using the Listerine (or some such) to kill any bacteria, the body will heal the sore on its own. If she gets more in a short period or it refuses to heal, see a dentist; she may have a medical issue or may be biting her lip or tongue.


I always use warm salt water and use baby oragel for pain.
