Answer 1

Canker sores are small ulcer craters in the lining of the mouth that are frequently painful and sensitive. About 20% of the population (1 out of 5) people have canker sores at any one time. Canker sores are also medically known as aphthous ulcers.

Canker sores are usually found on the movable parts of the mouth such as the tongue or the inside lining of the lips and cheeks. The ulcers begin as small oval or round reddish swellings that usually burst within a day. The ruptured sores are covered by a thin white or yellow membrane and edged by a red halo. Generally, the sores heal within 2 weeks without scarring. Canker sores range in size from an eighth of an inch wide in mild cases to more than an inch wide in severe cases. Severe canker sores may leave scars. Fever is rare, and the sores are rarely associated with other diseases. Usually, a person has only one or a few canker sores at a time.

The exact reason why aphthous ulcers develop is not yet clearly defined. Current thinking is that the immune system has been disturbed by some external factor and this results in the development of aphthous ulcers. Also, approximately 40% of people who get ulcers have a family history of aphthous ulcers.

Some factors that seem to trigger outbreaks of ulcers include:

Emotional stress and lack of sleep
Mechanical trauma, for example self-inflicted bite
Nutritional deficiencies, particularly vitamins B, iron, and folic acid
Certain foods including chocolate
Certain toothpastes
Menstrual cycle
Aphthous ulcers are commonly present in certain medical conditions. Many of these conditions are associated with impaired immune systems and include Behcet disease, HIV/AIDS, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, Crohn disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

I've suffered chronic mouth ulcers for 25 years. Dentists, doctors and specialists don't have a clue. Avoiding mouth ulcers has been a serious interest of mine and I've made lists of foods to avoid and foods to help. Physical and mental stress can have a negative impact, your 'healthiness' can have an impact but your real problem is an imbalance between good bacteria and bad bacteria in your gut. Avoiding modern sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup, extremely sweet fruits and especially yogurt will help you. If your problem is chronic then I suggest you start taking a probiotic routinely to help keep you in balance. If you're looking for a quick fix try eating rotisserie chicken. Drinking whole milk will also sooth immediate pain . The most powerful fix that helps me is Kombucha with ginger found near yogurt in the grocery store. It is chilled, it contains all good bacteria and it needs to stay chilled until used. Hope this helps, I feel your pain.

Avoid all spicy foods. I think you need to get yourself to a doctor if it's getting too big. But here's something to think about. It's better to prevent it from happening. You need to drink lots of water. Where I come from, mouth ulcers are due to the body's heatiness. Cool yourself down by drinking lots of water everyday.

Answer 4

I used to get these all the time. Limit sugar intake. Someone also told me to rinse my mouth every morning with peroxide and I have not had a canker sore for months, even with biting the inside of my mouth (This causes bacteria to get in and what causes the cankers)

Answer 5

By gargling your mouth with salt water,
the mouth ulcers will heal quickly.

This doesn't sound like any ulcer I've ever seen.Therefore it is not an ulcer. See your dentist to have a correct diagnosis.

Drink a lot, take a dose of 1000mg vitamin C, don't eat anything too hot, go to the drug store and find a suitable medicine (usually liquid) if you can't stand it no more :)
