Please can anyone advise me on how to stop a mouth ulcer inside my bottom lip from bleeding ? I woke up early today with my pillow bloody and it still hasn't stopped yet . I am on Clopidogrel, which is a blood thinner , following a minor stroke . Guess that means a trip to the shop for a new pillow later too !

Morning Big mamma, that sounds very unpleasant, and I think with the Clopidogrel you are caught in a catch 22 situation and I really can't think of anything to help.

Hope it stops bleeding soon.

Big hug.

Horrible painful things aren't they? Try rinsing your mouth with tepid water with salt dissolved in it (about 1 teaspoon per pint). Don't swallow it!


Came across this post this morning, hopefully it will cheer you up! Made me laugh anyway!

You could use a styptic pencil - but it won't taste too good !

I am still sat dripping into a set of tissues and have just rinsed as you suggested , hoping it will stop soon as at least it has slowed down a bit since in the night .

the best thing for ulcers which I use all the time is Oralbase, only available from the pharmacist, but it puts like a seal over the ulcer, thus stops it bleeding and stops it hurting and best of all, heals it really fast, like overnight for small ones. It is a steroid cream so be sure to tell the pharmacist what other meds you are on, just in case there is a problem....

hope this helps

Its a small stick that you can buy at the chemists - men use them when they have cut themselves shaving. Very effective in stopping bleeding but just can't imagine they taste very nice !

At last it has stopped for the last hour . I actually went to the Gp with this huge ulcer last week as I had had it for 3 weeks and I was given Adcortyl in Orabase .It was healing nicely until in the night .
Thankyou to you all . :-) xxx
