    Treatment of Mouth Ulcers in Parkinson’s Disease
    Small ulcers of the mouth often heal on their own but if the ulcers persist, or cause pain on opening the mouth or eating, treatment has to be undertaken. Relief of symptoms is the main aim of treatment but the cause should be identified and treated too.

    •Mouth rinses containing corticosteroids may help to reduce pain and inflammation.
    •Applying topical pastes to the ulcers at an early stage help to reduce pain and cause rapid healing of the ulcers.
    •Oral medicines such as cimetidine and colchicine, though not specific for mouth ulcers, often help in healing. Always consult with your doctor before using any additional medication so as not to interfere with your drug therapy for Parkinson’s disease.
    •A topical solution which heals by chemically cauterizing the ulcer. There are many brands on the market and you should discuss your options with your doctor.
    •Nutritional supplements containing vitamins B-6, B12, folic acid, iron, or zinc should be administered if there is a deficiency.
    •Alternative treatments may be tried such as using zinc lozenges, rinsing the mouth with salt water or elixir of diphenhydramine (without swallowing it), or applying a dab of milk of magnesia to the ulcer.
    •Issues related to problems with eating have to be tackled, such as cutting up the food into smaller pieces or serving soft, mashed or pureed food.
