What is a canker sore and how do you get rid of it?

Question:

Answers:
A canker sore is a slight ulceration of tissue.

It will usually go away on its own in less than one week.

Some people find that black licorice reduces the irritation and duration.

Also, it is very useful to keep your mouth especially clean. Try using Peroxyl as a rinse. It is valuable.

I do not know what they are from but if you lick a Bayer Asprin and hold it on it, it will go away by morning.

Their is a medicine you get from your doctors that will get rid of them.

Membrane in your mouth gets broken causes the sore.

canker sore is an infection in your mouth that may result from a small cut or bite in your mouth. its usually white or red in appearance. it hurts ALOT especially when eating. i recommend Colgate "Orabase". It numbs the area and helps get rid of it quicker. Id also recommend rinsing with scope or listerine. it might hurt..but you are dissenfecting the sore.

IT IS A FEVER BLISTER. USELIP MEDEX BY BLISTEX.

I think it's some kind of virus. There is no way to get rid of it. You just have to bear with it. They usually last about a week or so. BUT there are some medicines that will numb it, so you can "get through". I know how bad they are. I've had them forever.

Often treatment isn't necessary and your canker sore will heal on its own. Your doctor may suggest prescription medication if your sores are large, painful or persistent. To relieve the pain and irritation of canker sores, your doctor may recommend a prescription mouthwash, a corticosteroid salve or an anesthetic solution.

Cank-aid is good to numb the pain, but it will surely go away in a couple of days on it's own. Cut down on the acidic foods, if you have a chronic problem with canker sores, it brings them on and also causes more discomfort while you've got them.

if it is inside your mouth it is like ulcer go & get some stuff called "Kanka" it is where the ora-jel & stuff is,it works really good, kills the pain for a while & kinda forms a film over the sore.it will heal in a few days
