Viral throat infections, canker sores, sore gums, infected tongue, and pregnant please help!?
For almost a week I have had all of these symptoms (except the pregnant part. I'm 6 months.) but i hate to be selfish to my baby bcuz I can't eat anything at all without it being excruciatingly painful! I already lost 3 pounds this week from not being able to eat or swallow anything, i dont want to have to do that to my baby but I feel like wen I eat my teeth will fall out. I have good dental hygiene too, i go to the dentist more than twice a year for my cleaning so what is going on? I have tried the salt and water technique-didnt work! I did it three times a day for 5 minutes and the canker sores just keep getting worse! It's so bad my whole face and lips are swelling...(and trust me it's not the baby, I have only gained 18 pounds out of my pregnancy and my face didnt look like what it did a week ago.) I tried listerine, canker sore patches, tylenol but nothing is working! I finally made my appointment for the dentist and it's tomorrow but I was just wondering what if he couldnt help me?! I can't even sleep because of the pain. It wakes me up every hour so for this whole week after three hours of waking up i just stay up because I can't stand trying to sleep anymore! but when I stay up i get chills and i will be freezing but i will drench my blankets and pjs in sweat! plz does anyone know what will help me?
thank you for reading my question.
best product to get rid of canker sores?
So i currently have 3 canker sores in my mouth (painful and irritating!).
So the first one that accumulated was about one week ago, and I have the orajel stuff that is meant for cankers, and I applied it with a q-tip about 4-5 a day. However, the little bugger just got bigger. The second one started about 3 days ago, and the third came around about 72 hours ago. I keep using the orajel but they just keep getting bigger! I also used a product called Tanac (also meant for canker sores) and I doesn't seem to do the trick either.
I'm not a fan of the salt and water thing, because man does it hurt when I try to use it. Just the swooshing around in the mouth makes me extremely irritated.
So my question is, what is the best product to get rid of them as soon as possible, because I even have a hard time eating solid foods because it rubs up against them.
Also, the first canker sore is a bit smaller than a pencil eraser (gross and painful..) So please recommend something that will help me get rid of them as quick as possible because I'm so sick of this!
(canker sores are contagious right? this would probably explain why I have three of them!)
sorry the 3rd one came 4 days ago*
Canker sores in my throat?
I had a canker sore for a week now in the back of my left cheek, and it's almost healed. Now, I think I have a new sore down on my throat, and it hurts badly. The pain is on the same size of the cheek, and it's like 3 inches away from the previous sore. I can reach with my finger the affected area. I usually put salt and water in my sores, but this time I let it healed for itself. With the new one, I have never had a sore that deep and don't know what to apply to heal it
Bad canker sores !!!?
My dad has really bad canker sores, so i know that it runs in the family ; But i get like at least 3 or 4 every three months & they hurt ! Right now, i have three, i tried washing my mouth with mouthwash, brushing my teeth with a toothpaste with baking soda, still i have to try it without sodium lauryl sulfate & i dont want the salt on it, because it stings really bad. I also tried washing my mouth with salt and water & nothing, anything else i should do & should i go see a dentist or doctor ?

What Gets Rid Of Canker Sores?
What Gets Rid Of Canker Sores Besides Salt And Water?
How much salt by how much water do I need to rinse my gums with?
I was told to floss at least once a day and also to use salt water to rinse my mouth and gums with as the salt would help kill bacteria at the gumline. I wasn't told however, how much salt and water I needed. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, if my gums are bleeding a little bit while flossing. Is that bad? Does it mean I have really unhealthy gums?
