Solution for recurrent apthous ulcers

[toothy123]

It took 25 years before I found a solution to 25 years of recurrent apthous ulcers.

to prevent: take 1 mg of folic acid daily.
to alleviate pain and quicker resolution: get "magic mouthwash" via RX that contains lidocaine, benadryl, and milk of magnesia. This mouthwash will stop the pain for hours and also make them go away faster.

The understanding of apthous ulcers is still unclear, but generally thought to be an immune dysfunction. Low folic acid levels have been investigated and found not to be a reliable issue. But if it works for you, then go for it.
Most reliable treatment for small RAU is a corticosteroid in a waterproof base, e.g. "Kenalog in Orabase".
