I had them really bad when I was his age and they had me cut out catsup, OJ, anything high in acid=..It helped.......
 

..No salty stuff - like chips, my son had them.  Too much salt irritates the tender mouth membranes.  Wash hands often with soap and don't touch alot of stuff that is dusty and dirty.  "Keep your hands to yourself. "   Children want to touch everything and at school they pick up everyone's germs.  

I've given up diet coke.  Was easier than I thought.  When your life is on the line, it is easy to give up vices.  Lots of raw, fresh food is best.  Hard to so sometimes, but best. 

Write a cute song about singing at Studio Joe and send them a copy.  They might like it. 

You in the shower,  me wanna see.  ....
 

............spHey, you, nashville and barbeque sounds like a road trip, Give me a call on my cell and ill try and get there early, and yu ca npossible get thwere delivered in the vette, hello you can drive this time...love ya man
 

When I was in college -- a long time ago now -- the athletic trainer used to have silver nitrate sticks, kind of like Q-tips, that would burn off mouth ulcers pretty quickly. They left a stain that washed away pretty quickly. I don't know if they're still in use, where you could get them, etc., but they work.
 

5-HTP........I think it's a miracle herb,probably because a dear friend who happens to be a world renowned phycologist told me it was a miracle herb,which was good enough for me.It's a mood improver.I can't tell you that everytime I pop one in,I immediately get in a better mood,but I can tell you that since adding it to my cereal 4 months ago,I've been through a break up,lost a drummer,been told I need singing lessons while on stage and seen Michael Jackson get 10 times more coverage than Americans dying in deserts and not once did I feel like jumping in front of a train.....and that's an improvement.
 

Ashley might have some suggestions. I will forward this to her and see what she has to say. I know that my dad always said to gargle with warm salt water. That takes away some of the pain as well. I am hoping to see you Saturday. Love a good DADDY show.
 

..Hope he feels better soon - no idea if you can get this in America but it works here - Corsodyl gel.

Nasty business.  No innuendo intended but when it's in your mouth it's always much bigger than it actually is.  Very unpleasant......


 

Hey Tommy, my art teacher in college said his wife got those bad and the Doc told her to take acedopholis tablets. He said it seemed to help. Anything with salt or high acidity just makes it hurt worse....but I suppose you know that. Hope that all helps if even a little. God bless ya Tommy.
 

I probably should have found this before I posted the last little bit, but here is a bit of information I found that might help some.
The species of ..Lactobacilli.. that inhabit the ......GI tract...... cause an increase of acidity. The bacteria do this by producing ......lactic acid...... from milk sugar (lactose). The increased acidity may promote the absorption of ......calcium......, as well as of some other minerals. Lowered pH also discourages the growth of many pathogenic species of bacteria and yeasts. The hydrogen peroxide produced by the acidophilus also helps to suppress pathogens.
....Other Uses......Acidophilus may possibly be helpful in the treatment of canker sores, fever blisters, hives, and adolescent ......acne.......
Here is the website I got this information from.
..http://www.answers.com/topic/acidophilus-3..
I think you can get the acidophilus in tablet form or liquid and can be found at the local health shop, heck...WalMart might even carry it,.I suppose it is worth a try.
God bless..
 

thank you so much mr. noise!

 

Your welcome. I hope it helps. I also have to tell you that the lyric "played twister in Detroit with a stripper 6 feet tall" has got to be one of the best ones I have ever heard. The Daddy album (we old folks still say album) and your last solo effort have really been getting the workout on my mp3 player. I hope you get to do jambodians this year. Keep on rockin!
 

The local country doc here in Nevada has his patients mix benadryl and maalox together in equal parts then paint the mixture on with a Q-tip. You can mix some anbesol or your topical anesthetic of choice (orajel, hurricaine, pain-a-lay, whatever) in equal parts to help numb. We call it Magic Mouthwash. Hope that helps a wee bit.
 

Hey Tommy,

I quit smoking cigarettes about two months ago. You're a pretty skinny guy but I'll bet you'll gain an extra few pounds from not smoking. So you'll need to exercise for sure. I use the MP3s from PersonalRunningTrainer.com. Super cheap downloads (99 cents each) Tells you when to run, stop running, when to walk and gradually eases you up into running a mile, and then up to 3 miles, etc. The only thing is the music really sucks. I've been tinkering with the idea of making my own running Mp3s with my own narration at intervals and music I actually like. Haven't done that yet though.

Supposedly milk thistle is good for helping out with the "toxins" from alcohol and cigarettes. It's a little expensive. I've been taking that. Who knows if it really works...

Congrats on kicking the cigs. That was probably the hardest thing I ever did in my life.
 

Dang Tommy(read...dammit tommy!) I wish you'd just contacted me about Studio Joes..or that you had a date open for Little Rock>>>If we couldn't have got you into SJ's..we'd have got you something..it's a little late now I guess.
 But Hey..if you're coming thru town..give a call...I'll drag you around and show you these places..and you know you're welcome at our palatial estate anytime.
