canker sores

You can try a product called Glyoxide. It's a mouth antiseptic that also numbs the sore area. You can get it over the counter in the US. Not sure about outside the US.

In case you're interested, for cold sores, you need to take l-lysine (an amino acid). You can get that in any health food store and many pharmacies. It is also over the counter.

Yeah they are a fucking bitch, best thing is just to ride it out im afraid, i've tried so many hoem remedies to temporarily numb them or even help try to get rid of them but nothing works. Just dont use mouthwash and dont rub it with your toothbrush as it make it worse, so may have to avoid cleaning a section of your mouth for a bit lol.

anyone prone to em? i've got one that's been bothering me all week. i went to town on the yogurt and cottage cheese, but the fucker's relentless. i was going to have some wine tonight but now i wonder if that wouldn't aggravate things.

Don't eat tomatos! It not only aggravates them, it will make them appear!
