campophinique or Kankaid (cankaid)...also trying to avoid acidy foods (ketchup, tomatoes, pickles, etc)...might want to try a dab of salt on it..when it is dry! call your dentist or ask the pharmicist in the store..they might know other ways....
good luck!

My daughter has suffered with them since childhood and she is now 25 - she has had as many as 10 in her mouth at a time and sometimes they join together and make one huge sore.
We asked several people in the medical and dental profession and the one thing they agreed upon most was lycene. My daughter takes a lycene tablet every day and she has not been so severely afflicted with the sores for over year now. The other posters are right though...Anbesol and other pain relievers do help but not cure. She also rinses daily with Listerine.

Brush your TEETH!! hahaha. Dissolve some salt in water, and rinse your mouth with that salt water a few times a day. After every meal. The salt content alone will kill most of the unneeded bacteria in your mouth.

Try peroxyl. It is sold any where. It is a mouth rinse. It works wonders. You may be able to go to www.colgate.professionals.com they can assist you in finding it if you cant. I use it all the time.

Equal parts of hydrogenparoxide. Its so inexpensive less than $1.00, I have those sore and when i gargle with it most of the time they are gone by the next day. It really does work.

You'll have to wait it out, though campho phenique is helpful in speeding the process.
To avoid them in the future eat less acidic foods/candies and less sugar and corn syrup.

Oh, canker sores! They're annoying, aren't they? Try eating a lot of yogurt. The bacteria in it seem to shrink the sores...trust me, I've tried it! It always works for me.

It'll hurt like hell for a second, but putting salt on them makes them heal much faster.

You can use Anbesol. It works... bear in mind it contains alcohol though.
