How can I get rid of a canker sore in my mouth

Question

I have a canker sore developing in my mouth.

What's the best way for me to get rid of it fast?

Answer 1

If you don't have some handy. Go to a store such as walmart or any other store and get yourself a tube of Baby Orajel.

Really it works. The adult kind will work as well but the baby orajel has a better taste. lol

Put a dab of Orajel on the canker sore and within about 2 to 3 days the canker sore will be gone.

Plus the orajel numbs the canker sore allowing you to eat without pain.

I found this out when I was 12 years old in school. I had a canker sore and couldn't eat and my teacher had a tube of baby Orajel in her purse which she told me to put some on my canker sore and it would help it and it did.

Been keeping a tube of Baby Orajel with me for when I get a canker sore and it really does help.

Answer 2

Stress or minor injury to the inside of the mouth is thought to be the cause of simple canker sores.

Certain foods including citrus or acidic fruits and vegetables (such as lemons, oranges, pineapples, apples, figs, tomatoes, strawberries)  can trigger a canker sore or make the problem worse.

Some ways to get rid of canker sores include gargling with salt water, gargling with apple cider vinegar, applying some hydrogen peroxide to the canker sore etc.

To help relieve pain and speed healing of a canker sore or mouth ulcer, consider these tips: Rinse your mouth.

Use salt water or baking soda rinse (dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 cup warm water).

Dab a small amount of milk of magnesia on your canker sore a few times a day.
