Bonjela alternatives?
I have an ulcer on my inside cheek that will not budge! I don’t think you’re allowed to use bonjela in pregnancy (?) - what else can i use? (I’m doing hot salty water already) but need something more, ouchy!

@Samantha thanks lovely i definitely will! Hopefully they have an alternative or say i can use it sparingly.
It won't do anything to help the ulcer go away but clove oil helps with pain and is perfectly fine in pregnancy. I've currently got an impacted wisdom tooth but can't ideally get it taken out until baby is born and can't take many pain killers. It's tastes horrible but does help. You can get it from the chemist and is super cheap. All natural as well which is a bonus.

Looking online it says to contact your midwife or gp if you’ve got ulcers to get advice. It does say most of those sorts of products are safe but not all recommended so to just double check. I’d give your midwife a call first thing ☺️ x
