L-lysine has helped heal a variety of oral soft tissue injuries for me. I take it PRN, a 500 mg. tab every a.m. until the problem resolves. (My brother takes 1000 mg./day as a prophylaxis with no ill effects, but he's 6'7" and a bit more sensitive to oral pain than I.) Unfortunately, it's not a quick fix, but I can count on some improvement by the 3rd day and complete healing in a week.
Hope this helps.---medlib
PS--I haven't heard that L-lysine offers any relief from dry mouth. If anyone finds something that helps with that, please post it!
