When ulcers in the oral cavity began to feel a strong discomfort, in addition to pain and severe inflammation, the temperature also increased.
Well, the wife immediately called a doctor, when I was examined, I was prescribed a remedy for lowering the temperature, and Hexetidine was prescribed to eliminate ulcers. Pain and inflammation were already on after three days of use. I used the medicine for a week and all the unpleasant symptoms completely disappeared.
Yaroslav, 28 years old
My daughter had stomatitis, probably because she constantly puts dirty objects in her mouth. For a long time I could not find an effective remedy for eliminating the unpleasant symptoms of this disease. But then we were recommended to use Hexetidine in the form of a spray at the reception of a children's doctor. The drug was used for a week. Pain sensations and inflammation were already on the third day of use. True, the solution has unpleasant taste.
Tatiana, 39 years old
I have been bleeding gums for a long time, about 15 years. How many have tried to eliminate this problem, but none has helped.
Even decoctions of herbs used to rinse, but still bleeding remained. And then I was recommended by a doctor to use this spray. At first I somehow did not think about the positive result, but I was wrong.
Used the drug for about 7-8 days. Indeed, bleeding has disappeared. A year has passed, and the blood on the gums has not appeared, really forever?
