Answers:
it sometimes stings when you eat acidic foods, and it might make the sore a little raw, but it's mostly for your comfort!. If it doesn't hurt anymore than when you eat non-acidic foods, then i wouldn't worry about it too much!. That said, i would recommend staying away, it might hurt more later!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
There has been some speculation acid content of the food ingested may actually be a reason why some folks experience more canker sores than others!. Actually, some people don't know they have canker sores until they drink something acidic (orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit juice, for example)!. Since many of these drinks are also very healthy, the fact sufferers of minor sores simply try to bear the pain is understandable!. It is the sufferer whose mouth may have an ulcerated sore that is unable to stand this kind of pain even for short period of time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
