Canker sores on tongue-- why?!


Question:

Canker sores on tongue-- why?

Okay, I have a large canker sore right on the tip of my tongue. It hurts like crazy, looks like a blister (but it's not a blister.)
What causes kanker sores on your tongue??

I keep biting down on it and it's driving me insane.

How do I get rid of it?! It's the first canker sore I have ever had and it's making me nuts.

Should also add, I KNOW it's not an STD in my case
And I am 37 weeks pregnant, so any treatments have to be safe for me...
I plan on asking my dr about this Monday, anyways...


Answers:

A pregnancy-safe thing you can try is to take some L-Lysine. You can find them in the vitamin/supplement aisle at any pharmacy or grocery store. They usually help speed the healing in canker and cold sores.
