I've been having this annoying ulcer in my mouth for the past week. The gum on my upper row of teeth is somewhat potrudin and it hurts like hell. In fact, when i saw it yesterday, there was some pus in it :D
Anyway, the pus is gone, but the damn gum is still sticking out and bothering me.
So i've been trying various methods to cure it. I've tried :
1) Gargling salt water
2) rubbing some icky "oral aid" ointment which leaves my entire jaw numb
3) Drinking lots of cold water (i don't know who told me this, but it sure ain't working).
So far, NONE worked. I guess drinking coffee and eating fried stuff didn't help as well.
But now, my mom gave me another idea.
Rub salt directly onto the gum. Apparently it's a surefire remedy. And it hurt... A LOT. Now all i taste is salt. Even water i'm drinking taste salty.
So....can someone kindly give me more suggestions? I NEED to get this over with!
