My Son Fell And Cut His Lip...

[VydorScope]

Yea I know, big surprise that a little boy fell and got hurt.

But now he has a huge cankersore in his moutth where the cut is...Any way to treat that?

Poor little guy! Our Ped has always told us to just keep an eye on mouth sores. When DS split his lip and had to have stitches, we did have to buy this rinse for him to use, but I can't remember the name of it. It was similar to a mouthwash and we used a Q-tip to apply it.

Hope he is feeling better soon!

You can buy some canker medication OTC at most pharmcacies. It stings a little bit, but my wife and son use it, and it seems to heal them a little faster. I can not remember the name of it, or find it in the medicine chest right now though.

Hope that helps.

If it is hurting him, try putting some NumzIt or Oragel on it. And give him lots of hugs.

Vincent, there will be many of these. A little neosporen or anti-infectious salve may help.

Ah, poor little man! I have 3 right now and feel like I am DYING! Kanka works wonders for me. I was told by my dentist that Oragel can make the tissue hard, which causes the sore to take longer to heal. I have always found that putting peroxide on frequently helps as well. Hope it gets better soon!

i put salt on it, yes it stings but it heals in about 1/2 the time and overall makes it better.

when I did something stupid like that, my dentist had me rinse my mouth with peroxide (watered down)... you could probably water down some hydrogen peroxide and put it on a q tip and swab it that way

I always used salt water rinses (or H2O2 rinses) and oragel if it was really painful.
