Best Treatement for Canker Sores?

Question

I am aware of the causes of Canker sores. And get them frequently.

But I have the worst two canker sores of my life right now, they almost are bringing me to tears at times. They are like craters in my mouth. I know these in pirticular have been caused by the fact that I have braces. I had problems keeping the brackets on and they had to change the brackets in the front because I kept biting the others off in my sleep so these are much stronger (omni brackets).

Until I can get into my orthodontist (I just moved so I have to call my new one and make an appointment) to have him fix this anyone have any ideas for a cure? I have perscription medication for canker sores and it hasnt worked at all.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Carbamide peroxide is the generic form of an over-the-counter medication that combines glycerin and peroxide. The peroxide releases oxygen and cleans up bacteria. The glycerine puts on coating and helps protect the sore. Brand names include Glyoxide, Amosan, and Cankaid.

Answer 4

For canker sores there are two things that I have found to be helpful. One is to dry the lesion by dabbing it with a tissue and fill in the crater with triple antibiotic ointment. (this works better for me) The other is to use toothpaste.

It is particularly important to do this before you go to bed at night and again first thing when you wake up. You can also do it several times during the day. Doing this will reduce the discomfort and speed healing (though for big ones it still may take a week or so). Good luck.

The easiest home remedy is to apply hydrogen peroxide (1 part hydrogen peroxide and one part water with a cotton swab) to the canker sore. Then dab a small amount of milk of magnesia on the canker 3-4 times a day. This is not only soothing, but appears to help healing.

If they were stress or acidic caused canker sores, I'd recommend taking lysine. You can get it at Wal-Mart or any drugstore in the vitamin section.

If it's being caused by braces, then that needs immediate attention. I'm not sure lysine will help if the sores are constantly being irritated.

They usually just have to run their course, there was something that I bought once over the counter for canker sore and it took away the pain for awhile but I don't remember the name of it. My parents taught us to use hydrogen peroxide diluted in water as a mouth wash but it never helped me much.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus. Many of us already have the cold sore virus dormant in our bodies, and never have a flare up of cold sores. We contracted it as children, as it is a very common virus, and children pick it up easily as they often share food and drinks, and may be less concerned about hand washing and hygiene. Cold sores can be transmitted even when the person does not have a cold sore, though it is less likely to happen then.

remember that you can remove genital warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or cream but genital warts can reappear again and again because genital warts appears when your immune system is weak!

I got diagnosed with herpes type 2 about seven years ago, when I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. However, Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again!
