Mouth Redness And Gum Soreness
Posted: 09-05-04 21:16pm

Daughter has been to doctor 3 times and still no one has provided the right treatment! First time, the diagnosis was yeast infection from taking antibiotic, so nystatin prescribed to place on mouth. Second time, another topical cream prescribed. Third time, we went to dermotologist, but she ended up seeing physcian assistant! Guess what? Another topical cream prescribed! Now, she is getting it again, but the soreness has gone inside the mouth and is open sore. Fyi she wears retainer at night, and I suggested putting it in mouthwash to kill any bacteria. Any ideas? I have told her to take acidolphilis to maybe give her some "good" bacteria. Any help or suggestions appreciated. The doctors sure haven't helped.

Mouth sores or apthous could occur due to deficiency of vitamin b or could be due to insufficient assimilation of the vitamins.
Homeopathic medicine has good remedies like merc sol,, ars.Alb, ac.Nit etc. To see that the sores subside and the assimilation improves.

Merc sol,, ars.Alb, ac.Nit
i copied and pasted the suggested medicines. However, are these abbreviations? What are they? Thanks for suggestions. I will insist she be more faithful with her vitamins and will send her vitamin b.

It could maybe be trench mouth, in which case she would probably need an antibiotic. Have her do salt water rinses several times a day. Trench mouth comes from an over production of bacteria in the mouth.

You can search for mercurius solubilis, arsenicum album, acidum nitricum at any of the homeopathic pharmacies.
