A member asked:
Do you think i should be gargling mouthwash when i have a ulcer in my throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No - Use Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate): Instead of the irritation of mouthwash; get a rx for Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) from your dentist. This is a liquid that you can have soak (now swish) in you mouth to disable bacteria and assist in the healing of irritated and sore tissue. The nih results was that this solution will soak into the tissue and time release over the next 12 hours.
