How do I get rid of kanker sores?

Question

I had it for more than 2 weeks and it gets worse. home remedies and medicine suggestions welcome

Answer 1

OK, this is gonna sound weird, but EAT PICKLES! I am serious! There is something in the vinegar that has healing properties. We found this out when my daughter had a horrible one a few months ago. She was also hungry for pickles and ate an entire jar in one day. (She is also a starving college student, so that might have been the reason she ate pickles. LOL And no, she's not pregnant. LOL) Anyway, the next day, her canker sore was almost gone!

Since then I have had several of my orthodontic patients who get canker sores try the "pickle solution", and they have all come back and said it worked great. Why not give it a try? What do you have to lose except that painful sore?

Hope this helps! ~Bobbi
