@kmm29 I haven’t been diagnosed with OLP, but I do have it. I diagnosed myself. I saw two ENT’s and neither one said anything about it. If I may ask, what is the name of this Swish and Spit you used? The ulcers on my tongue and swirls of white on the inside of my cheeks are getting lighter with time. I also lost my taste and smell with Covid almost 4 years ago.

@lkirnbauerbonjour,
Je suis également diagnostiquée OLP . De plus j’ai un Gougerot (sécheresse buccale et yeux) ce qui n’améliore pas. J’ai vu un Stomatologue spécialisé qui m’a prescrit des bains de bouche à la cortisone.
Après 6 semaines ça va mieux. Je sais que c’est chronique. Mes douleurs sont accentuées par les fruits et certains fromages.
@lkirnbauer Dexamethasone oral 0.5 mg/ 5 ml swish and spit 5 ml every 12 hrs 1 min do not eat for 30 min. If really bad another Derm prescribed Clobetasol .015 percent. This is stronger.

@lkirnbauer I feel like my taste is not the same as it was before OLP, because of the meds. Especially when actively using them there is no taste. Your taste and smell never came back. Wow. The swish spit is dexamethasone intensol. 2mg/5ml . When I have the ulcers I use the triamcinolone, but after they have healed, I use it for like 3 days on and off for a week. I avoid using both long term. Its expensive.
I also just started Oil Pulling, Honestly I think this has calmed down the day to day sore gums. Currently using a sesame oil ,but will do the coconut after. After brushing I swish with saltwater /xylitol. Best of luck!
