Question:
would like to know if there are any suggestions for curing these
kinds of sores. The doctor said that they are a virus that just has
to run its course
Answer:
I've read that sodium laurel sulfate (and sodium laureth sulfate) both
are contributors to mouth sores (besides being industrial-strength
degreasers that are dangerous to put in your mouth). They are in almost
all toothpastes! (I'll bet most people have never noticed the warning on
the box of their favorite toothpaste-but not on the tube. If it's not
safe for children, how come it is for adults?) Look for ones that are
free of those chemicals. Other helps are echinacea, aloe vera juice and
hydrogen peroxide rinse.
