Ive Got An Ulcer On My Lip On The Inside Of My Mouth Really Annoying

[gordiescotland1]

HI there
This evening I have developed an ulcer on my lip on the inside of my mouth. It is really annoying me I want to bite it off. I have been chewing it a bit and it bleeds a lot maybe because I am on a blood thinner. Any idea on what causes them?

Try gargling with a mouthwash or a mild salt solution if you don't have a mouthwash.

Try this if you can get some tomorrow and stop biting it.

Well first, its not going to get well as long as you keep
Chewing on it. Mouth sores are usually cause by the herpes virus which lives on every human naturally, not just dirty ones, and most often causes no problems. However when it flares up as a cold sore or mouth ulcer its a high contageous infection. Chewing on it only makes it worse. It may have begun from accidentally biting you lip or some food that cause a cut. STOP chewing on it, use a salt brine gargle on it (do NOT swallow the brine). Dont share cups or bottles or eating utensils or food with anyone. Everything your mouth touches needs to be washed in HOT water, try not to touch your mouth with your hands and if you do wash them immediately. Most of all STOP CHEWING ON IT!!! Worst. Thing. Ever. If it doesnt go away in a few days you may need to get it treated.
