Hi there , im afraid there is no quick cure for mouth ulcers . Rinsing with warm salt water and cider vinegar can be soothing, also manuka honey on the ulcers can help .

It sounds as though you're not very well controlled Manoj. Can you see your Rheumatologist for a review?

Mouth ulcers are a common symptom of taking methotrexate, often helped by increasing the amount of folic acid you take. Are you taking MTX & supplementing with folic acid? I'm not sure about lip swelling though. Rinsing with a warm salt water wash can help ease mouth ulcers but again you really need to see your Rheumy.

Agreed salt water - I had this when on mtx now on a biologic. Found it hard to tolerate mtx to be honest.

Take folic acid everyday, rinse out your mouth and report to your docyor

Definitely try adding folic acid. 1mg twice per day solved my mouth problems.

Daily folic acid got rid of mine but check with your Doctor - keeping your mouth very clean - brushing 3 - 4 times a day and using a mouth wash What is 10th class ? xx
