Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Dawn, I used to take mtx on Fridays and never fail, I would get really sick 3-5 days afterwards. I got mouth sores too but never bothered me a whole lot. The nausea got to me worse. I didn't get as sick from the injections, just the oral pills. Do you take folic acid and a good heartburn pill?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hi, Lelia. I have mouth sores from Methx. and my Dr. always gives me Nyostatin rinse. Tastes awful, but seems to relieve them short-term. I think the Diflucan pill would be best for recurrent sores and I'm thinking of trying that. Maybe someone (Vicki) could answer this question. Sometimes when I take my Methx. on Thurs. nights, I don't always take it with a full glass of water as per the directions. Could this be why I have such bad side affects? Curious....

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Yes, I take Folic Acid but nothing for heartburn. I rarely get heartburn but when I do, Rolaids takes care of it. Do you take Methx. injections? Sorry, but I can't remember what you take. I thought it was Imuran??

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 Carol, constantly gets mouth sores. I give her otc tylenol and motrin. Motrin works best for her. We also have a liqid form of lidocaine that is prescription. It is used very small amounts and not all docs like it, but it does numb the site for up to 6 hours at a time. If they dont go away in reasonable amount of time, sometime an anti-viral can help. But anti-virals can be harsh on system. Maybe try calling md to see if he can prescribe something a little stronger than otc canker meds. Just a thought. Hope they heal over fast. > >Reply-To: Mito >To: Mito >Subject: Mouth Sores >Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2002 00:30:04 -0500 > >My youngest Neal had an endoscopy done on Monday under general anesthesia. >Since then he developed 4 large mouth sores and he is in constant pain.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 No I dont believe it does(sting) as my husband(soon to be ex) used once for his and he said it was almost immediate relief. The only thing that hurt was actually touching the sore to apply. But that would be with any med. Sams lido was a 2% viscous solution. Let me know if I can answer anything else. > >Reply-To: Mito >To: Mito >Subject: Re: Mouth Sores >Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2002 01:44:26 -0500 > >Thanks for the info! I will call the ped tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 Have lots of fun this Christmas! Hey guys, Have not been able to be on much lately but trying to read a few posts while I have a brief minute. I have found that equal parts of Malox and Benadryl shaken well and swished around in the mouth works great for mouth sores. The longer you keep it in your mouth the nummer it will be and in a day or so the sores are gone. Our pharmasist shared this with me and if you have smaller kiddos it wont hurt them if they swollow it. Have a great day! Horsley leehorsley@...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 My kids get nasty cold sores and a few inside the mouth. We had always used the lysine tabs, and even found an ointment from Puritins Pride. But then my mom told me to use Vit E tablets. Just to take them orally and open the caps and spread on the cold sore. That really helped and when the kids took them every day, got far fewer. The latest thing to help us is the new abreva which is over the counter. It is a miracle on cold sores. You put it on at the first feeling of one and it stops it and reverses it and it is gone within a few days. There is also a prescription one like Decyclovir (?) that works as well. These are for adults, so do not know how old one needs to be, but boy have they made our life happier when one pops up. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
