Acon-great advice!My son was diagnosed with herpectic oral ulceration ( he had mouth ulcers, bleeding gums and a cold sore ). I was perscribed acrotyl in orabase, but when I saw the pharmasist, her daughter had it and she highly recommended difflam spray. I think I'll get this for my son, since the acrotyl in orabase is a paste that tends to dry and flake off and he still has it, so not sure if it's working. Best of luck and hope it heals soon.

Brilliant thank you I will try that - is it an over the counter thing ???

Difflam spray is great. My son had Gingivostomatis, which is caused by the coldsore virus, his mouth was FULL of ulcers, tongue, gums, lips etc and this was easy to use. Its a numbing spray, plus antibacterial to help against infection. He just had a relapse, with one coldsore on his lip and we are using this again.

My poor wee man has two horrible BIG ulcers on each side of his tounge, he told us his throat hurt so I took him to the docs and he aid there was nothing so sent ua away with nothing but last night he was awake most of the night in agony - ive tried bonjela but I think it stings, anyone got any ideas he doesnt want to eat or drink anything because he says it hurts too much - we are going on holiday saturday !!!
