Eeee.. Medical Type stuff

We can never learn too much.
As Murphy's law would have it, the worse mouth ulcer in my life happens during Chinese New Year. You know, the biggest eating fest i'll have before i fly back to Melbourne for a year!
Anywayz.. crucial questions that need to be answered:

What is a Mouth Ulcer?
According to Dr. Martin Tooke
A mouth ulcer is a breach or break in the mucous membrane which lines the inside of the mouth. It usually looks like a depression in the mucous membrane and usually has a yellow or white colour. The size may vary from a millimetre or less in diameter to several centimetres. It is often painful.
Basically, a very painful hole in your mouth. OOOWWWWW!!!

How do you get a Mouth Ulcer?
Well, there are two types of mouth ulcers,

The first type is caused by stabbing yourself somehow.. maybe with a sharp tooth or a fish bone.

The second type, aphthous ulcers are caused by 101 conditions. But here are the ones i cared to list
  • body's own immune system attacking the mucosal lining of the mouth.
  • after minor injury to the inside of the mouth
  • stress
  • after eating certain foods
  • hormones - common round about the time of a menstrual period. less likely if pregnant
  • coeliac disease (what the heck is that?)
  • viral disease
  • mouth cancer
  • herpes
HhhMm... this sounds good. i'm not pregnant. But i could have a STD or cancer.

other than that... the article says it will normally heal in 1 to 2 weeks. sometimes a month
1 to 2 weeks!!! a month?!?!?

So.. Remedies
  1. Gargle salt and water
  2. Use Bonjela
  3. Use Bonjela
  4. Use Bonjela.
Guess what? i'm gonna use bonjela. and drink lots of water. and all that jazz..
We hope Jeannie gets better even after all that CNY eating ok?
P.s: photo of ulcers not included in order not to gross me and everyone else out.
