these are one of the most painful things out there-i hate em!! i get them when i'm overly stressed out. these canker sores are viral and typically take 10-14 days to clear out but can take up to 3 weeks.

first off-ditch the salt and lemon juice. the lemon is highly acidic and will irritate the hell out of your sore-adding to your already excruitaiting pain.

rinse your mouth out 3-4 times a day with salt water (2tsp of salt to 8oz water). you can try using anbesol gel or paste to help numb the pain (depending on where the sore is located). best thing is ibuprofen. take 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours. this will help stop the pain for several hours.

don't try using things such as listerine b/c the alcohol in it will make the pain worse and won't do much for the sore. if you get these often, check with your dr about getting special mouthwash to help prevent them.

hope you feel better soon!!

U call such peoples ur FRIENDS......LOL...babegirl...LOL.. OUCHHHHH....

U have been victimised by one of those terrible teenager's and youth's greatest enemy called the Canker sores. They r small sores that occur inside ur big-mouth. It's also known as aphthous ulcers. u can get them on the tongue and on the inside of ur cheeks and lips. they usually loves tu pop up alone, but sometimes they show up in small clusters.

ur mouth might tingle or burn before the actual sore appears. soon, a small red bump rises. then after a day or so it bursts, leaving an open, shallow white or yellowish wound with a red border. the sores are often painful and can be up to an inch across, although most of them are much smaller.

Most canker sores will heal on their own in a few days to a couple of weeks. While you're waiting for them to disappear, there are some things you can do with some homemade mouthwashes......

Try rinsing your mouth four times a day with a mixture of two ounces of hydrogen peroxide and two ounces of water or a combination of four ounces of water mixed with 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
Swish the mixture in your mouth for about a minute and then spit it out — DO NOT SWALLOW IT beeing GREEDY!

Dabbing a mixture of equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide directly on the sore, followed by a bit of milk of magnesia, may reduce discomfort and speed healing.

U may try putting wet black tea bags on sores. Black tea contains tannin, a substance that can relieve pain. You can also find tannin in some pharmacy.

Watch out what you eat when you have those blisters.
Spicy foods and acidic foods such as lemons or tomatoes can be extremely painful on these open wounds. So can anything sharp, such as nuts or potato chips, which can poke or rub the sore. Be careful when you brush your teeth, too. It's important to keep your mouth clean, but brushing the sore itself with a toothbrush will make it worse.

If ur blisters do not get better after a few weeks or keeps coming back and make you feel sick, see your dentist. Blood tests may be required for another
condition — such as a vitamin deficiency, problem with your immune system, or even a food allergy — could be contributing to the sores.

Your doctor may prescribe a topical medicine or special mouthwash for u...
If the medicine needs to be applied directly to the sore, first blot the area dry with a tissue. Use a cotton swab to apply a small amount of the medication, and do not eat or drink for at least 30 minutes to make sure that the medicine is not immediately washed away.

these are commonly referred to as canker sores, there is a new product on the market made especially for them, it is a pain relieving patch, you put it over the sore inside your mouth, and it helps the pain and heals it much quicker than just letting it heal on its own. Check your favorite pharmacy and ask the pharmacist about the new patch for mouth sores. Hope this helps!!!

do you mean a cold sore or fever blister then you need to get like canphophinic or blistex or a carmex and put it on them or the doctor may be able to priscribe something stronger if you dont mean these blisters then you can have hand foot and mouth and that is a virus and will go away on its own without medication

Depends on what blisters. Canker sores can be reduced by simple salt water gargle, swish around mouth and spit.

If you are talking about a canker sore, you can't make it heal faster. You can buy medicine for them that will GREATLY reduce the pain caused by them at your local drug store.

You mean mouth ulcers. Use a cream from your pharmacist, like in the UK you can purchase Bonjela Cool gel. Helps quickly reduce swelling and discomfort.
