Totally OUCH!. You can rinse with warm salt water 1tsp salt to 1 cup warm water!. It is more diluted and can help!. Unfortunately, there is nothing to be done for canker sores!. They aren't contagious or a virus and they have no know cause!. You could also try some over the counter numbing meds for them!. They taste bad and only last a short time but it's worth the shot if you are in a lot of pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

mix it w/ water, swish it around in your mouth for a lil bit (3 mins!. max), and spit out
just do this about twice a day

it'll sting a little if that!.!.!.!.don't worry just do that and you'll be goodWww@Answer-Health@Com
