Whats the best way to get rid of canker sores?

Answer 1

I feel your pain woman! I get horrible canker sores, don't use abreva-that is for cold sores around the mouth. I get severe ulcer like cankers and have found that they take a good week or more to go away. I like to use Ambesol to numb it but the best medicine in the world is called Campho-Phenique. It is near the ambesol and abreva at the drug store. This has helped me when I have the worst of the worst cankers...
Also there are several natural remedies if you were to do a google search I think you could find a supplement. My friends told me about but haven't tried it.....
Finally, lots of toothpastes can cause canker sores if you let it sit in your mouth. I rinse my mouth out with water after I brush so it doesn't sit in the creases of my mouth. Good luck!
I hope this helps!
(a little long-winded I know but I HATE CANKER SORES!)

Answer 2

Are you talking about the white lesions on your gums or the the red fever-blister type infection on your outer lip?

If its inside your mouth, (and this is going to suck) brush it 2-3 times a day with your toothbrush and some tooth paste. Then swish with Scope or similar. When you're done that (and done screaming! LOL), take a q-tip and dab at it with red wine. HONEST. This does work (its what the doctor told us to do for my brother when he was a baby and got canker sores all the time!).

If however, you're talking about the red annoyances you get on the edge of your lip, then definitely try Abreva. Also, try not to lick it or touch it with your tongue, or fuss with it too often.

Good luck.
