mouth sores

Does anyone have a problem with mouth sores? I was told I was getting them due to prednisone and imuran but every time I think they are going away I feel another. My dentist told me to try peroxide and water rinses YUCK. Any suggestions Thanks

Sorry, as I don't get them often, one every now and then I just rince with scope and brush often. I know what your Dr reccomended may not taste good but try it anyway, if it helps than it will be worth the nasty taste. Good Luck

There are two brands of oral rinse with peroxide in them:

Orajel
Peroxyl

Both taste okay IMO.

You can also buy GlyOxide which is a thick syrup type peroxide.
It stays on the sore longer.

If you do rinse with a peroxide product, do not eat or drink for at least 1/2 hr after, so it won't be washed off.

The oral mucosa regenerates every 24 hrs. If the sores are kept clean, they will heal up faster.

Make sure you have enough Vit C in your diet. And zinc. Low zinc will make sores slower healing.

Hello and welcome to Neurotalk! You are going to LOVE it here! I also have a lot of sores due to pred and cellcept - both inside and outside my mouth - for the inside I take Nystatin and for the inside I use Valtrex........

Hope this helps and that you are feeling strong and happy!

Take care!

I am also on prednisone and imuran and getting mouth sores. Boy do they hurt! Even drinking water hurts. My doctor gave me lidocane that I can put on the sore with a Q-tip. It numbs it for awhile but tastes awful.

Hi Katrina,

Welcome to the group! I had them years ago and a peroxide rinse did the trick. Hope it works for you too. Take care.

Hugs,
Pat

Thank you all for your suggestions I have done the peroxide and water and also bought some Lysin vitamins.
