Hi, I'm sorry about all the pain you must be in. I know how you feel.
There's not really any home remedies that are also not considered medications.
But here's some ideas:
Calamine lotion
Anbesol
Salt water rinse
Pouring salt on the sore [this will hurt. a lot.]
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi there
Oral B used to make something called Bocasan - they still make it but the name has changed to Amosan, I think.
It's designed for just your problem, and is a really useful thing to have around for stuff like sore gums, infections etc.
Feel better soon.

Unfortunately, nothing will make it go away faster. Saltwater will keep it manageable, and you could try some wax (the kind they use for braces) on your teeth in that area so the shape edges don't rub at it.

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

well, i would get orajel or something to numb it.
i would also get " Canker Cover " to form a protective film over that canker sore and help it heal faster.
