Things You'll Need
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Water
- Swab
- Cup
Instructions
-
-
1
Dilute 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution 1-to-1 with water (half-strength).
-
2
Scrape off the white coating in your mouth to reveal the red soars underneath so the H2O2 can get to it.
-
3
Apply the H2O2 mixture directly to the soars with a swab.
-
4
Pour some of the solution into a cup and swish it in your mouth but do not swallow. Gargle in order to reach the back part of your mouth cavity.
-
5
See your doctor for specialized medicine if you don't see improvement within a week, or if the infection reaches too far back to reach with hydrogen peroxide without swallowing. With all the other possible treatments available, there is no reason to confine yourself to just hydrogen peroxide if it doesn't work.
