I need help with my Canker sore!?
Question:
Please, I have had it for a week almost and it has been torture and pain.
Answers:
One thing that has seemed to help in most cases when they say to gargle with warm saltwater (it NEVER fails: I puke the second it hits my mouth. I can't help it, but I do) is to drink lots of hot campbels chicken noodle.
It's hot water, chicken, and salt! (with a few noodles.:-D)
Try the kinds of mouthwash WITHOUT alcohol.
That may keep you from screaming in agony when you rinse your mouth!
Keep some ibuprofin in you to help the irritation it's causing the rest of the surrounding flesh.
Here are a few links for treatments:

Look at the alternative treatments.
Also try putting honey on the sore. It is a natural antibiotic, and can keep it from getting infected! Works best on small sores on the outside of your body but hey, might as well try.
Hope these links help!

First, get KANKA. It's a medication that works better than any other to dull the pain. Get the one with the brush applicator. When I used to get the one with the plastic applicator, it worked fine, but the bottle leaks once opened if it ends up upside down.
Then, when you've numbed it, use warm salt water rinses a few times a day. You can also try peroxide diluted with water to help, but it's probably not necessary with the salt water.
Camphophenique lip gel at the drug store helps dry it out. Also, take Lysine (its a natural supplement) 2x a day until it goes away, and at the start of an outbreak. Coffee, cokes, chocolate, and nuts, and stress tend to trigger an outbreak.
whatever you do dont put salt on it. i have one and i put some salt on it yesterday and it hurted like hell.. lol...
sorry i couldnt help you... ^ _ ^
I get a lot of canker sores! I feel your pain. Gargle and swish with Listerine. It will burn like fire while you are doing it and for a few minutes afterwards but you'll be able to eat whatever you want for hours afterwards!! Do this several times a day, it will kill the bacteria in the canker sore. Make sure you get the listerine in the canker sore. Hang tough, it's not easy but it's worth it.
If it's inside of your mouth take a tums,rolaid any antacid tablet will work place it right over the sore let it disolve in place. It will help the pain and nutralize the acid in your mouth that's making the sore worse. Works every time! As long as the sore is there do this until it's completly gone about three time a day or when ever you feel pain. I've never used a full roll before mine are totally gone. 95 cent cure that will be $395.00 for the consult.
