Canker sores are painful, small ulcers in the mouth or on the inner lips caused by an assortment of viruses and bacteria.
The condition is called aphthous stomatitis. Normally, canker sores clear up in a week, but they often recur, sometimes in the form of multiple sores. Salt and acid increase the pain when eating.

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.

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.
