Discussion of treatments for Tardive Dyskinesia:
There is no standard treatment for tardive dyskinesia.
Treatment is highly individualized. The first step is generally to stop or
minimize the use of the neuroleptic drug. However, for patients with a
severe underlying condition this may not be a feasible option. Replacing
the neuroleptic drug with substitute drugs may help some patients. Other
drugs such as benzodiazepines, adrenergic antagonists, and dopamine
agonists may also be beneficial.

Stomatitis and other oral infections:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
For acute herpetic stomatitis, treatment is conservative. For local symptoms, supportive measures include warm salt-water mouth rinses (antiseptic mouthwashes are contraindicated because they are irritating) and a topical anesthetic to relieve mouth ulcer pain. Topical antihistamines, antacids, or corticosteroids may also be recommended. Supplementary treatment includes a bland or liquid diet and, in severe cases, I.V. fluids and bed rest.
For aphthous stomatitis, primary treatment is application of a topical anesthetic. Effective long-term treatment requires alleviation or prevention of precipitating factors.

Stomatitis and other oral infections:
Treatment
(Handbook of Diseases)
For acute herpetic stomatitis, treatment is conservative. For local symptoms, management includes warm-water mouth rinses (antiseptic mouthwashes are contraindicated because they’re irritating) and a topical anesthetic to relieve mouth ulcer pain.
CLINICAL TIP: A course of acyclovir (200 to 800 mg, five times daily for 7 to 14 days) may shorten the course and reduce postherpetic pain.
Supplementary treatment includes bland or liquid diet and, in severe cases, I.V. fluids to maintain hydration, and bed rest. After the gums are less tender, a dentist should scale and polish the teeth and emphasize good oral hygiene.
For aphthous stomatitis, primary treatment is application of a topical anesthetic. Effective long-term treatment requires alleviation or prevention of precipitating factors.
