what do you do about kancersores?

Answer 1

In patients over four years of age, mix one tsp of Benadryl elixir with 1 tsp of Kaopectate. Then apply to the canker sore, or swish the mixture in your mouth. Then spit it out. The Benadryl has decent properties as a topical anesthetic and Kaopectate acts as a vehicle to keep the mixture adherant to the mucous membrane for a longer period.

For very painful sores, there is a compound called viscous Xylocaine, available by prescription.

Answer 2

The above treatments are recommended, and also for sever cases topical steroids.

Cankersores, also known as recurrent apthous ulcers, have no known cause. They sometimes occur in times of stress or for not reason at all. They usually last less than a week and are more of a nuisance than something to be concerned about.
