A simple and effective remedy to alleviate mouth ulcer discomfort using common household items.
Dampen a cotton swab with clean water.
Ensure the swab is damp but not dripping to avoid excessive application.
Dip the damp cotton swab into the powdered alum, coating the tip.
Use a small amount of alum to avoid an overly strong taste.
Apply the alum-coated swab gently to the mouth ulcer for a few seconds.
Hold your lip or cheek away from the ulcer to make application easier.
Rinse your mouth thoroughly with clean water to remove the alum.
Swish the water around your mouth to ensure all alum is rinsed away.
Enjoy the relief from the ulcer pain and treat yourself to something pleasant to remove the taste.
A small piece of chocolate or a mint can help mask the taste.
