Answer 2

What should I do when I get canker sores?
Canker sores usually go away without any treatment. For pain relief, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other medicines, such as Anbesol, Oragel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing your teeth. You put these medicines right on the sore.

You can also mix equal amounts of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl Allergy liquid. After it's mixed, you can swish a teaspoonful in your mouth for about 1 minute and then spit it out. If you do this every 4 to 6 hours, your canker sores may hurt less.

Some people think that sucking on zinc lozenges, taking vitamin C or vitamin B complex, using a sage-and-chamomile mouthwash or taking a lysine supplement helps their canker sores heal faster.

Answer 4

A canker sore is called Aphthous Ulcers and is quite refractory to most treatment. Simplifying things: The sores can occur during a viral episode, recent change in tootbrush/paste, or during severe stress.

The most common I've seen is in people who are highly stressed, mentally or physically.

Solution: Identify the cause of stress (if any) and work towards eliminating/solving it.

Proper sleep at night is absolutely essential for the sores to heal.

Have you had recent inflammations of the eye known as 'stye'?

Answer 5

This is a very common problem for which modern medicine has very little to offer. There are a variety of over the counter products available and people do claim success with 1 or another although there is no objective basis to their claims as no medical study has found benefit with any of them. There are a number of prescription products commonly used although I do not find that any of them are of much value either. If you have a single lesion a physician is able to resolve this within minutes.
