i have a blister in my mouth?
Question:
Answers:
The cause of most canker sores remains a mystery.
Researchers generally believe that stress or tissue injury may cause the eruption of canker sores. A minor injury — caused by biting the inside of your mouth or by eating rough foods, such as nuts — may trigger a canker sore. Other causes may include:
Faulty immune system function
Nutritional problems, such as a deficiency of vitamin B-12, zinc, folic acid or iron
A disease of the gastrointestinal tract
Food allergies
Menstrual periods
Though anyone can get cankers sores, they tend to run in families and may be an inherited condition.
The following practices may provide temporary relief of canker sores:
Avoid abrasive, acidic or spicy foods, which may increase the pain.
Apply ice to your canker sores or allow ice chips to slowly dissolve over the sores to ease the pain.
Brush your teeth gently, using a soft brush to avoid irritating the sore.
Rinse your mouth with salt water or over-the-counter preparations. Try diluted hydrogen peroxide or elixir of diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Be sure to spit the Benadryl out to avoid absorption, so that the medication doesn't make you sleepy.
Dab a small amount of milk of magnesia on your canker sore a few times a day. This can ease the pain and may help the canker sore to heal.
Use an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others). But don't give aspirin to children. Aspirin may trigger a rare, but potentially fatal, disorder known as Reye's syndrome
