l am suffering the worst flare in 4 years , on Betnasol Tablets steroid mouth wash .3 days and absolutely no relief.
Terrible white straits on lower gum area mouth so sore any body have any useful suggestions would be so appreciated.
Thanks
I've got difflam mouthwash which numbs the mouth but not entirely and it does help
Hold on dont lose hope.i was in a similar situation as yourself. I am also on same mouth wash. I wasnt getting any relief what so ever until around the sixth day. My mouth is so much better now . Had my first proper meal today. Dont know how long before next flare up but such a relief at the moment . Good luck !!
is that diflican mouthwash? And does it contain lidocaine? I'm allergic to it. And it seems itis the only thing prescribed for the pain. I am having a huge flare and think I am leaving regular lichen planus and going into erosive now. My whole right side of my mouth is inflamed. I have an appt with a dermatologist on Aug 8th.
No it's called Difflam oral rinse. It's got benzydamine hydrochloride and says for the relief of pain and inflammation in the throat and mouth. I was prescribed it by the hospital for use when it ulcerates and it does help
Thanks Lauren ,about to go and buy a Diflam spray .Any form of pain relief will be a bonus.
This is a real horrible condition with no cure totally depressing.
