@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!

@kmm29 I’m not on any medication for OLP. I haven’t been told by any doctor, ENT or otherwise that I have OLP. I noticed the bumps on the way back of my tongue myself and diagnosed it. I think this is what OLP is anyway. Is the Triamcinolone a prescription? I don’t usually do well with steroids, but if it’s not swallowed maybe I could. I don’t know what oil pulling is. My gums are not sore, so I don’t know if this is something I would need, but I don’t know. Can you please explain to me how this oil pulling is done? Thank you!
