canker sores get rid of themselves, and I feel for you. My sister had them all the time when we were growing up. Rinse your mouth with salt water and hydrogen peroxide. Dab Cankaid on them to cause numbness and relief

you have to let it go away on it's own. You can however go to the drugstore and buy this stuff that seals it up and takes away the pain til it goes away.It's kind of like an oral bandage. It's a type of adhesive I believe. Ask someone at the counter they will know what it is. It speeds healing time because it keeps moisture out if you follow the directions. I liked the stuff. It worked well.

I would recommend getting it checked out first, just to be safe. If you don't have time, you can gargle for 30-60 seconds with warm salt water. It may sting, but do that once or twice a day for about five days. Local stores will also carry ointment for it. I hope I helped. (:

Take LOTS AND LOTS of L-Lysine its an amino acid and helps cut the healing time way down by half or more
