See a doctor and make sure it is nothing serious or that could lead to a serious conditiion. If it is caused by acids in your system eliminate dairy and acidy foods for a bit. gargle with dr tichners also dip your finger in and place on ulcer it may burn a bit but it will be gone by the next day

rinse your mouth out with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water. does this a few times a day and your canker sore should go away. and yes you can get a canker sore on your tongue

The best way to get rid of an ulcer is to gargle heavily concentrated salt water. Just be sure that you don't swallow it. Oh, it will also be uncomfortable at best, but deal with the pain for a few seconds, also make sure that the water is pretty warm. just gargle that salt water two-three times a day until it goes away.

Rinse your mouth with salty water. Even better, get to a chemist and buy some Calgel! I get terrible ulcers, so I sympathise with your plight! a little whiskey or brandy will deaden the pain if held against the ulcer

Ummmmm sounds like herpes! Yikes! Better go to the doctors and get tested just to be on the safe side. You don't want to transmit it to other people.

In the meantime go to Walgreen's and get oragel. It'll numb it for a little bit.
