The canker sore that would not die
Permalink Closed

I've had this canker sore for over a week now.  Mine usually last 3-5 days so I've very pissed off! It hurts to talk and to eat, to brush my teeth, to drink, everything! Uh, any tips on how to make it go away?! Every couple days it gets smaller and I think it'll go away but then it comes back full force!

Don't eat/drink acidic things, dab some hydrogen peroxide on it a couple times a day with a cotton swab, and get yourself some Orabase B!


Sorry it's hanging around.  Canker sores suck!

ugh, the worst. when i get them i gargle with hydrogen peroxide 3x a day. swish it around your mouth and concentrate on the sores... it gets fizzy and feels gross, but spit it out, don't rinse. it makes mine go away within a day or 2, max.

Also, take a TUMS tablet and hold it on the canker sore until it mostly dissolves. I know it sounds weird, but it totally helps it go away faster.
