Anbesol Liquid is a pain relief medication that can help to ease discomfort caused by mouth ulcers, teething, denture irritation, or other oral pain. Simply apply the liquid with your finger for fast-acting relief from that annoying ulcer, or to soothe your little one when their teething is getting to be a bit much for them.
Anbesol liquid contains three active ingredients which work together to ease pain in your mouth, these are:
Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic, which means it eases pain wherever you apply it, ideal for concentrated areas of pain such as mouth ulcers or where your baby is getting a tooth. Chlorocresol and cetylpyridinium are antiseptics, which means they kill bacteria, protecting from infection as the mouth or gums heal.
Mouth ulcers are small ulcers which can form on the inside of your mouth or on your tongue or gums. They’re usually harmless and should clear up by themselves within 2 weeks, but they can be painful and irritating until they heal. Mouth ulcers can cause discomfort when you eat, drink, or talk, which is why many people reach for pain relief as they wait for their ulcer to heal.
