I have been getting a lot of canker sores in my mouth. Big ones on the bottom of my left side in my mouth. It is too out of the way for it to be caused by me biting my inside of the mouth by accident. Does anyone know what causes them? As soon as one leaves, I get another one. I brush and floss my teeth twice a day, so it isn't because I am neglecting my teeth. Could they be a side effect from Celebrex?
Hi Dar,
I've never had sores from the celebrex.
Do you take mtx?
Hi Dar,Are you taking Folic acid? It's helps tremendously with the sores !!!!
If not ask for a script or you can go to GNC or a vitamin shop for a over the counter version.
Yogurt and folic acid. Increase the folic acid until the sores go away. If that still doesn't work, go in and show your doctor. You might have an infection that needs to be treated.
I got thrush, one of those simple infections that normal bodies fight off. It made my mouth turn white.
MTX commonly does cause mouth sores and that's why they put you on folic acid.
I had success with a home remedy for canker sores. Place a wet tea bag on the area for several minutes. It took away the pain for me for several hours. The next day I did it again for pain, which worked, and then the sore began to heal. It wasn't a big sore-- I think I ate too many tomatoes, but I was really impressed with this simple remedy.
