Canker Sore

Powdered alum or what we Filipinos call " tawas" is a good natural cure, just search why it's beneficial, it shrinks it and prevents it from being bitten over and over. At times I put rock salt directly on top of the sore but I would not recommend it since not everybody can tolerate the pain. Dries it up real fast when it numbs. My suggestions are only from my personal experience since I prefer natural cure and is not a substitute to expert medical advice

I usually put the same what @louievill usually put Try it and you`ll feel the effect quick

You can go the traditional (and very torturous) route and put alum/rock salt on it. Milder version is warm saline gargle. Or you can go see your doc or a pharmacist to get an antiviral gel/ointment that you can put on it. Takes longer to heal, has a funky taste but less painful. ;) Good luck.

I red a post before from a popular doctor that yogurt is a good natural remedy. Worked for me.

I rarely get them, but when I do, I buy over the counter meds at our pharmacy. Feel better soon.

I hate canker sores. It is very painful.

The canker sores they get cured themselves within a couple of weeks. The reasons for getting canker sores include some fruits like citrus fruits, pine apples, tomatoes can be responsible for causing these sores. deficiency of certain agents like iron, folic acid, zinc, Vit B-12 can also lead to these sores. Some underlying Gastro intestinal diseases can also cause these sores! If teh sores are very painful and more than two weeks old and if you are having fever it is better to consult a physician for the advise! All the best!

They have over the counter medicine for this at most pharmacies. I hope you feel better soon. I usually gargle with salt water when I get anything like it.

i use mouth wash rinse and increase my iron when i get these. it helps me.

I used to put a lot of salt in it before, not sure what's the remedy now.

I’d have it checked. I never had anything like that before so I winding know

Go to a pharmacy. They'll give you something. I had that, too, some years ago. But it doesn't help you when I tell you the name of a medicine sold in a different country.

i just gargle with warm saline water, then it goes.

@sw8sincere It looks painful, I hope it goes away soon.

i used to get those.i noticed it rarely happens now with drinking more orange juice.

Do you know that "tawas" powder you can buy in small pastic containers. That is so effective on "paningaw" or canker sores. You just have to endure the a bit pain when you pit it on your affected lips.

That looks bad.
