Try to find a non-flavored antiseptic mouthwash and dilute it 50% water/50% mouthwash and use a cotton swab to apply it to the inside of the mouth a few times a day. You don't want too much solution on the swab to where it drips off of it or runs down the snake's throat, just enough to coat the inside of the mouth when applied.

Here in the USA I use the original, non-flavored, formula of Listerene mouthwash. Its condition should improve within a few days, but keep applying it a few days after all sgins of infection are gone.

Keep the cage very clean, with no standing water, feces, etc, and increase heat & humidity towards the high end of the suggested range during treatment.

Best wishes!
