Re: Hullo Newbie Alert!
Congratulations! Do yourself a favor a go to the drugstore and buy some Zilactin...it's the best! It forms a protective coating on the cold sores or cuts on your mouth and gives them time to heal and keeps them from hurting. Saved me from some major grief, that stuff is a God-send!

Welcome! Welcome!
And sorry to hear about your mouth. Everyone keeps telling me that all that will get better with time.

Today is my third day and I'm still in alot of pain. Ibuprofen every four hours, soft food, and Orajel several times a day. The only time my mouth doesn't hurt is when I sleep! Hopefully pain is soon gone for both of us.
