Canker sore in my mouth

Please go away soon. You are hurting me, and making it hard to eat.

I had the biggest mother of a cankersore on the roof of my mouth a while ago and it took so long to go away. I put some numbing stuff on it during the day at work or right before I was going to eat and that sorta helped pain wise and I wasn't touching it with my tongue all the time. I also took some major vitamin c and once I did that it seemed to help a bit too. also try some of that stuff in the dental section at the drugstore, I can't remember the exact name but it comes in a little white box and it's a powder you mix with water to rinse your mouth out with, that helps too. I get the stupid things all the time from my retainer so I know what I'm talking about , heh.

for sure. Mine is on that little bit of skin that sticks out just to the side in your mouth.
I keep biting it because it is so swollen now. It fucking kills!!! plus I can't help but lick it. lol
maybe its time for some of that drugstore stuff. :)

thats gross.... ive never had a canker sore in my life, i dont even really know what one is...uckies..

[mugsy]

i usually put salt directly on mine, makes them gone in a like a day. it hurts alot but it works.

[wundergirl]

i dunno about salt
*ouch*

but yogurt contains enough natural bacteria to fight off cankers without the searing pain. just eat a couple servings of yogurt over the next day or so and you should be on the mend!

baking soda and water works really well too

oi i just had one of those it hurt man...made me feel like my lips were swollen....so happy its gone....it stung when i drank ne thing

[CodaDrummer]

I heard somewhere that some people get them from drinking orange juice, but drinking orange juice when you have one can help them because of the vitamin c... Doesn't that blow your mind...???

[Kandyapple]

yah thats a little strange. I hate how salt is the best cure, but hurts like a mother.
babyxtc my mouth is soo swollen right now. how long did it take to go away. This is the worst one I have ever had. Plus its awfull right now because Im supposed to talk on the phone all day at work. All Im doing is mummbling because one side is so puffy.
spunsugar. I got that cream its called orabase. supposedly its also used in sex shops??? lol I had a coworker tell me all about it today. heh
It works for the pain but it feels like my mouth is way more puffy because it makes my canker stick to the side of my teeth. lol
I cant win! I want to go home :(

brush your teeth after every meal. don't eat anything hot or acidic. the biggest thing right now is not to make it mad by irritating it.

you also may wanna check a doctor, small chance it could be a staph infection or something.
