Hi, My Uncle has alot of canker sores in his mouth. they are so big that he can't even eat, his whole mouth is full of'em. He went to the doctor, and they are doing a treatment, but I don't think it's working. He get's them all the time. What's the reason he's getting them so much? and any herbal remedies could be used to treat those things?

Canker sores are not caused by Herpes simplex (some cold sores are, but canker sores are not cold sores).
I never had success with L-Lysine, but there is prescription medication - Aphthasol - which can reduce healing time.

There is no prevention. Certain medications can bring them on - but it sounds like he has them real bad. Proper medical treatment is really his best recourse.

Herbal remedies:
Herbal sedatives such as chickweed and violet and also the herb rockrose, which is thought to reduce anxiety, have been suggested as treatments for canker sores.
Lactobacillus acidophilus:
Daily consumption of the bacteria lactobacillus acidophilus is believed to be helpful in preventing outbreaks of canker sores. A good source of these beneficial organisms can be yogurt. Make sure that the yogurt you buy states that it does contain an active culture of acidophilus, not all types of yogurt do.

Get a supplement called L-Lysine. It cuts healing time and prevents more breakouts. Get it at health food stores.
Canker sores are caused by the herpes virus. It's contracted when you are a baby and someone with canker sores kisses you on the mouth. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Good diet, a vitamin supplement like Centrum, lots of sleep, and drinking 6, 8oz glasses of water helps too.

Major aphthous ulcers such as you describe are best treated by a healthcare provider. Typically topical or systemic glucocorticoid steroids are use. These ulcers may be the sign of other health problems that need to be investigated.

Put salt on it. Salt absorbs liquid and will draw out the infection. When I do this mine are usually completely gone in about 3 days.
