Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, you can use mouthwashes temporarily and antacids like Omeprazole before meals as well as salt water gargles and see for any improvement in the symptoms.

Chewing cardamom may also help too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
