Canker sores are painful, small ulcers in the mouth or on the inner lips caused by an assortment of viruses and bacteria.

Cover the ulcer with a wet tea bag; the tannin will help dry up the sore.
Mouth Canker Home Remedy 7 – Antacids
Antacids can soothe canker sores by reducing the acidity in your mouth that can irritate them.
Mouth Canker Home Remedy 8 – Kaopectate, Milk of Magnesia, Benylin or Benadryl.
Combine equal parts of the liquid form of Kaopectate or Milk of Magnesia (both antacids) with Benylin or Benadryl (both mild anesthetics). Apply the mixture to the canker sore with a cotton swab. You’ll cut down on painful acidity in your mouth and numb the sore, too
Medications with xylocaine numb the area temporarily. Ointments like Orabase and benzocaine coat the sore, protecting it from being irritated by food and from becoming infected. Some doctors prescribe mouthwashes that contain tetracycline, an antibiotic, for canker sores. Dab the sore with the medicated end of a styptic pencil (available in drugstores), just as you would to stem bleeding from a shaving nick. This will numb inflamed nerve endings. Use a new pencil to avoid infecting the sore with bacteria. This is an old remedy, but it still works.

I have a very nasty one on the roof of my mouth after a week of waterfasting. It’s located so that talking, swallowing, well just about every activity hurts. Will my digestion complain if I suck on some throat lozenges with extra vitamin c in them?
Hi Orion
I have the solution to cankers. Dab toothpaste on it with a swab every hour and try to do it at night.
Let me know how that works.
The lozenges will have sugar and make it worse.
Even the Strepsil ones? Will any toothpaste work, or will I need to avoid certain ones?
PS I have a very well articulated, spell-checked progress report pending. Pretty please approve it?
I used colgate and that worked. Strepsil may work. I could not find the active ingredient on a quick search. There is a sugarless, but artificial sweetners may be worse then the sugar.
Let us know. Hey I really appreciate the spelling checked report. Some take a lot of fixing and lack capital letters. I guess people do not realize we get 1/2 million visitors a year.
I am at my wits end with my weight and healing that i need to do from within. I want to fast very badly but i am very weak. Today i am starting to eat only vegetables and fruits as a start. I think the biggest problem in my life is being over weight. I weigh 242 lbs and really wanna get down 50lbs. Any encouragement or help would be greatly appreciated. I am just tired and fed up as weight always being an issue in my life. I need help!!
Hi Tomika,
I feel for you. An extra 50lb can feel like a ton on the heart. Get a juicer, get resolved, fill in a progress report and do it. You will never look back.
Please help me. I’ve tried everything for my canker sores and mine last to about a week! I’ve tried kiwi, peroxide, antacids, and tannin. I’ve also tried warm salt water and that just relieved some of my pain temporarily.(Only for a minute) Help. Me.!
To cure cankers, use Flecher’s Liquid sore-mouth medicine.
