After the basic remedies, here is a specific routine that combines some of these methods for quick relief:
Step 1: Salt Water Rinse
As mentioned earlier, start by mixing a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. Gargle and swish this solution around your mouth for a few minutes before spitting it out. This helps clean the wound and reduce bacteria in your mouth.
Step 2: Warm lemon water
Prepare warm water, preferably before bed, and squeeze fresh lemon juice into it. It is crucial to avoid adding sugar to this mixture. Just drink it.
