Canker sore...help!?!


Question: It's been 9 days and I've done the gargling of warm water with salt already. It won't go away. It's just one canker sore on my lower lip and it's so painful. I can't eat comfortably and I have to hold my lip with my left fingers to brush my teeth daily. Help!

Its going to hurt a lot at first, but try gargling with original Listerine several times a day. It seems to speed up the process of healing and kind of dulls the pain for a little while.

Also, you might want to try switching to a toothpaste that doesn't have SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). I notice that I don't get as many canker sores if I use an SLS-free toothpaste.

I really hope this helps you! I know how much they hurt. : (

Put honey on it

or put some tanac on it

The taac will temporarily relieve the pain

also go to wikihow and see thingss there

Get a lysine supplement, and you can get lysine in a lip gloss. I haven't tried the latter.

Put maalox on it. Seriously. Or milk. Peridex (RX) will help to take them away inside the mouth and Acyclovir (RX) will take them away on the lips and genital areas. Pain is erased almost immediately with Acyclovir. Do you have a doc? Go see them. Sometimes it is from a vitamin deficiency too. Othertimes it is a herpes simplex virus.

Try drinking orange juice.

Try abreva!! Don't drink orange juice. That sometimes makes it worst. Abreva is sold at most stores. It cost around 16.00 for a tube. But it works!!!! Hope you feel better.

arm and hammer baking soda a pinch at night it burns at first but heals over night.
baby oralgel ( The gel kind stays in place better)
