No Spitting, rinsing, or sucking from a straw for 24 hours. Keep patient calm and quiet, no active playing. The next day begin warm salt water rinses after every meal and before bedtime for 5 days. If necessary force milk, fruit juice, blend soup or most any nutritious drink. A nutritious diet aids healing.
Mouth rinse can reduce discomfort for meals and oral cleaning.
Cepecol or Chloroseptic mouth rinse every two hours is helpful. Glycerin, Gly-Oxide, Zilactin, Kanka or Orabase applied to the ulcers after each meal and bedtime can be soothing if the ulcers are affecting your child's normal activities. Keep the teeth clean with a soft toothbrush. Use children's Tylenol for fever. Ulcers will last 7 to 14 days.
