Mouth Sores

January 17, 2007

Yes, the recipe is in an old post. That has been discussed a lot. Benadryl and

Mylanta. I don't think anything else? I guess we use Anbesol Jr. not the

other....ooops. Good Luck.

The recipe for Magic Mouthwash is equal parts benadryl elixer, maalox and

viscous lidocaine. Your doctor can order this to be made up for you at the

pharmacy. It gives good relief of the pain from the mouth sores; but you don't

want the child to drink it, just to swish it around in the mouth for the time it

takes you to sing the alphabet song, and spit it out.

In another support group I'm in, they use the same mouth wash.

That person thinks it works well.

Hi,

I have nothing to prevent it what I learned a long time ago was mixing

baking soda with a little water, make a paste and apply it to the sore with

a Q Tip. It numbs it, and eventually after a couple of applications gets

rid of it. Usually by the end of day two its gone. Good luck.

Subject: Mouth Sores

Has anyone ever been given anything (meds or otherwise) that helps prevent

the mouth

ulcers? My son Chance gets them terribly right before the fever period.

Sometimes to the

point that he won't eat and is very picky about what he eats. Lately he has

been getting them

on his tongue as well which affects his speech. He normally has 1 or two

small ones

throughout the month, but during the time right before he fevers they become

very large and

painful & his mouth and lips swell. Any suggestions would be great!

The Mouth sores you mention is part of what happens with JRA.

gets them from time to time. Since they are sometimes called Mouth ulcers. You

need to let your Mom know about this. will use warm salty water to

swish around in her mouth and spit it out. She also will use Oragel since they

can be painful. Celebrex doesn't cause the Mouth sores. They do go away.

Hi .....I was on celebrex for several years and I did occasionally get

small mouth blisters. Since I have been off celebrex I dont get as many.

Hope this helps.

Tell your rheumatologist and she/he will prescribe folic acid/ folate pills.

You can also get it at the pharmacy.

Sores on your palms and soles may very well have been pustular

palmar/plantar psoriasis. I had it for several years on my palms and

for almost a year on my soles before it was finally diagnosed. It was

variously misdiagnosed as eczema, contact dermatitis, fungus, etc. If

I had not started having excruciating joint and tendon pain, they may

never have figured it out!

Hello;

I had mouth sores for many, many years before getting P and the PA.

FYI - I can almost eliminate them if I take L-lysine a couple of

times a month. I have included an abstract for a paper that may have

the info you want. Let me know if you can't get the paper and I will

try to help.

Environmental risk factors for the development of psoriatic

arthritis: results from a case control study.Pattison EJ, on

BJ, Griffiths CE, Silman AJ, Bruce IN.

arc epidemiology Unit, The University of Manchester, United Kingdom.

OBJECTIVE: To identify potential risk factors for the onset of

inflammatory arthritis (IA) in a large cohort of patients with

psoriatic arthritis (PsA) of recent onset. METHODS: We recruited

cases with psoriasis and an onset of IA within the past 5 years.

Controls were patients who had psoriasis but no arthritis. We

assessed potential factors associated with the development of IA

using a detailed postal questionnaire. An unmatched analysis adjusted

for age and gender was performed. Exposure was censored in the

controls at a " dummy-date " assigned randomly in proportion to the

percentage of cases developing IA in any given year. RESULTS: We

studied 98 cases and 163 controls. Exposures showing a positive

association prior to the onset of IA in patients with psoriasis were:

rubella vaccination (OR [95% C.I.] = 12.4 [1.2-122]), injury

sufficient to require a medical consultation (2.53 [1.1-6.0]),

recurrent oral ulcers (4.2 [2.0-9.0]) and moving house (2.3 [1.2-

4.4]). Cases were also more likely to have experienced a fractured

bone requiring hospital admission (50% vs. 9%, p=0.040). CONCLUSIONS:

We found a number of environmental exposures associated with the

onset of IA in subjects with psoriasis. The strongest associations

were with trauma thereby adding to the hypothesis of a 'deep Koebner

phenomenon' in PsA. Our data also suggest that exposure of the immune

system to certain infection related triggers may also be of

relevance. Further studies are needed to verify these observations

and to examine potential immunological mechanisms that underlie them.

The hand and feet sound more like psoriasis. Did the mouth sores

start before or after the MTX? MTX can cause this reaction and is

helped with folic acid. A dermatologist would be able to help you

best in this situation. Rhuemy's are not necessarily well versed in

the are of P.

I have psoriasis and PA and I take mtx and enbrel. I had mouth sores

several years ago and they got so bad I had to have them cauterized.

My ent told me I was alergic to raw tomatoes and when I eliminated

them from my diet, no more sores.

I've had mouth sores since I was a little girl. They come almost every month and

last for 1-2 weeks. If I take vitamin C on a regular basis they are less severe

and sometimes I miss a month. I never fevered as a child nor do I now. If I eat

acidic foods like oranges, tomato sauces, grapefruit, pop.... the ulcers come

immediately. Also if I injure the inside of my mouth...right away it turns into

an ulcer. My son doesn't seem to get them like I do. I have acid reflux

as an adult and my son had it as a newborn. I attribute my ulcers to my acid

reflux. I've seen a little one on my son's tongue once during an episode. I do

think there is a genetic connection between Acid Reflux, Ulcers, and

somehow? Just a guess though!
