Welcome and glad you joined.
I would be careful with the vinegar, could read:
How Vinegar Can Damage Your Health | JennifersKitchen
Might want to see a doctor about a totally safe cure.
Hi Bob,
Wine or balsamic vinegar is a salad dressing and is used in small quantities.
There is no cure for ulcers from the Doctor, all I know is the red wine vinegar has cured my mouth of these most painful sore spots and ulcers. I don't know how this works but I know it worked for me.
A minor miracle!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GO TO THE DENTIST.

Things that may also work (I use it but I don't have teeth) may include a bleach solution and a LOT of things.. But, I don't have teeth.

I'm fairly sure the dentist can provide you with prescription mouthwash that is safe, you use daily, and it is Specifically designed to make sure mouth sores are treated or eliminated.

THIS IS NOT HARD KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE VINEGAR (BTW my dentist SUGGESTED the bleach.)

For the love of all that is holy stop shoving salad dressing in your mouth and see a professional that's what they are there for.

Do you want to wind up with 10 cavities and/or brown teeth? You don't just FIX something because you are having a salady lunch with your kid or however it went. Stop. Do not pass go. Go to demist.

A list of symptoms when quitting tobacco and changing to an ecigarette

1. Mouth Ulcers
The Quit Ulcers are a common symptom of tobacco withdrawal, affecting many quitters. The ulcers can be very painful, but there are effective topical treatment gels. It has been suggested that high-dose vitamin therapy may also be effective.

The ulcers or gum inflammation may start a week or more after tobacco cessation. They generally clear up after a few days or weeks.

It may be possible that nicotine being absorbed through the mouth can also exacerbate this, as some users of nicotine gum have experienced these mouth sores; although it would need to be shown that those using nic skin patches did not suffer so commonly.

It may be that after ecig use, at first, drinking something to rinse the mouth out may help. This will get the nic (or perhaps flavorings or other materials) out of your mouth and not give it a chance to sit there and irritate your mouth tissues and make any sores worse, if this is in fact an issue.

Admin note
Note that PG is a bactericide and virucide, and used medically for that purpose, so that it is more likely to improve this type of symptom than worsen it. It is unlikely that ecig vapor from an e-liquid with PG in will affect the Quit Ulcers in any way except beneficially.

However: Cinnamon flavoring in an ecig refill is known to cause or exacerbate this problem in some people.




Before things get any more rude...
