Get rid of canker sore?!
Question: Get rid of canker sore?
Answers:
You should be using baking soda not salt water! That makes it worse. Also you can use a Qtip and hydrogen peroxide. That will help existing sores but to prevent further ones try using Toms of Maine Natural toothpaste.
Canker sores hurt - and they will hurt until they heal. Austin brings up a good point about baking soda and it's worth a try, but his comment about salt water is misguided. Salt water is fine and many people find it makes sores heal faster and brings pain relief. Whether you try baking soda or salt water don't swallow! Spit it out so it doesn't make you nauseous.
L-lycine, vitamin c, b complex, and probiotics will all help with both healing and with preventing recurrences. For immediate relief use something like Kank-A or Anbesol. They aren't the most pleasant to use, but do promote healing and provide pain relief.
Ive read B-complex (its a vitamin) helps heal soft tissue such as the tissue in your mouth. Do NOT take more than the recommended dose and make sure it will not interefere with any other medications you may be on. Talk with your pharmacist or physician if you have any questions on this.
Look it up on the net .... type in vitamin B for canker sores. There are also other remedies.
