Hello guys I have a remedy for the canker sores. My father has a problem with canker sores when he was having a radiation therapy for his eye. After about 7 session, he’s having a lot of canker sores in his mouth due to the effect of radiation. I bought a dequadin paint in the drug store but my father doesn’t like it because it was very painful when it was applied to the sores. There was a Chinese doctor, she told me to buy a Water Melon frost, in the Chinese drug store. I bought one for only 10 php. pesos. At first I was hesitant to apply this medicine because it was too cheap to be effective for the sores, but it takes only 2 days to 3 days the sores was gone and my father did not complain for anything painful unlike dequadin or Alum. this kind of medicine you can buy usually in the Chinese drug store, but some drug store also sell this kind of medicine, especially here in the philippines. I hope this can help you guys out there. but first and foremost pray for the medicine, only God can make it effective.

I know all of your pain. I have a sore in my throat and get canker sores more than I care to admit. For throats…try Cepacol Dual Relief spray (new product), it looks like an inhalter. Also…chew kewi fruit around the outbreak of a canker sore in the mouth, it seems to help me well.

I have had so many canker sores that friends of mine who are dentists/dental students say I should go into the field.

I have a solution for cankers that works for me. My doctor suggested chemical cauterization I can do myself at home. Purchase Silver Nitrate sticks at the pharmacy. Dry the canker sore. Press the stick tip to the sore - it will sting a minute. Rinse your mouth with water. The sore will turn black and heal. The pain stops right away. I get them when I eat pineapple or other acidy fruit. This is the only thing that has worked for me.

I used to get canker sores when I was younger but then never did for awhile - I recently got one on my throat and come to find out, they’ve come back because I quit smoking. They’re not too bad like some of these stories I’ve read, usually just one at a time but I’ll try the SLS free toothpaste and just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted remedies - very interesting to say the least. Anyone else here have the direct correlation with the quitting smoking and cankers?

i have cankers all over my mouth i find its from a slight lung infection (smoking too much) and stress ( gastro intestinal system not working great)

try rinsing with saline solution (salty-water)
take advils
drinking a black tea (like orange pekoe, the tannins numb all of the sores, lasts for about an hour)

short of that you have to get yourself healthy as possible to rid yourself of them, fresh ocean air helps i find

I just went to my doctor today for what I THOUGHT was strep throat…a horrible sore throat on my right side. It turns out it’s a dang CANKER SORE in my throat! It hurts SO bad. I’ve had canker sores before…get them all the time usually in the winter, but never in the throat. My gland is swollen, I have a headache on the right side of my head, ear hurts and everything…and it’s a small little one too, causing all of this agony. I’m counting down the days til it goes away

Canker Sours are awful! I have one right now! (two actually) I get them a lot. They are so painful. I die for a cure! Ive tried everythign and finally found somthing at Target that seems to be working. I asked the lady in the Pharmacy where the medicine was and she gave me ” Professional Strength Kanka” It stops pain and keeps a coating over it so you can eat better. Once in the second grade, I had six in my mouth at the same time! It was awful. Hope it doesnt happen to you. Anther time, I had four. LUckily, i usually have two or three at a time. I get them pretty much once or twice a month. So theres my sob story. Try the medicine though. And yogurt smoothies, milk, and Maalox. Dont try salt water, it doesnt work.

Hey all, I get them occasionally too. Apparently it can be hereditary because my Mom always gets them and now so do I and one of my sisters.

I mainly get them if I bite my lip, cheek, tongue or scrape my mouth with something sharp like bread crust.

Last Wednesday, I slit the underside of my tongue on a freakin’ potato chip and now I have the WORST canker sore I’ve ever had on the side of my tongue.

Hurts to eat, talk, you know the drill. I’m miserable right now. But hey, at least I’ll lose a couple of pounds because I can’t eat, too painful.

Anyway, what works for me is first, I don’t use toothpaste with SLS. The brand I’ve been using for years is called Squiggle, specifically made for canker prone people. Google it, the stuff is awesome.

And I’d also throw another vote towards Debacterol. I haven’t had any success with it on tongue cankers although I may try again with this one. Trick is to get the canker with it at just the right time…if you use it too early, it doesn’t work and just inflames the canker even more.

Use it at the right time though and it cauterizes it on the spot, you’ll be pain free and the canker will heal in a day or two.

I really cannot recommend Debacterol enough. Some dental supply companies are pretty lax about checking to see if you’re a dentist before selling it to you and it is expensive but worth it.

And what’s the risk? Do you really think the Feds are going to come crashing down your door for freakin’ Debacterol?

Doubtful.
