canker sores

[Ghost-Ryder]

I got a horribly painful canker sore on my gums. Hurts like fuck to even eat. I know they usually go away in about a week or two but anyone know any remedies that can make them heal faster? Or make the whole experience less painful? Jesus Christ idk why i get these. Its my second one this month.

Sucks man I think they do have something for it

[Anko]

Salt it.

It'll go away quicker and hurt less but you might end up crying.

Place some salt on it for like 30 seconds and then rinse.

Or rinse your mouth out with some warm salt water. Same effect though.

I hate those things. >.<

You have Sutton's Disease.

I know this because I read about canker sores on Wikipedia.

I know they fucking suck. They are a hereditary thing in my family, and I get them for using good toothpaste and eating artifically colored foods.

Basically I have to use shitty organic toothpaste and eat natural foods if I don't want to not eat. (that's how bad they get)

The thing is i normally get them like two or three times a year. But i got it twice just in the last 3 weeks. And i havent changed anything in my life. So i really cant find the cause. Lol my mom grabbed me and ripped the white part off with peroxide and a q-tip...hurt like a BITCH. but the pain is a lot less now...im wondering if that will make it worse or help it. I dont trust wikipedia for shit.

Treatment options

Most mouth ulcers are harmless and resolve by themselves in a few days. Other types of mouth ulcers, such as the aphthous variety or those caused by herpes simplex infection, need medical treatment. It isn't possible to speed the recovery of ulcers, but the symptoms can be managed and the risk of complications reduced. The range of treatment options includes:

-Avoid spicy and sour foods until the ulcers heal
-Drink plenty of fluids
-Regularly rinse your mouth out with warm, slightly salted water
-Keep the mouth clean
-Take pain-killing medication, such as paracetamol
-Apply antiseptic gel to the ulcers
-Use a medicated mouthwash
-Use steroid gels or tablets
-Treat aphthous ulcers with anti-inflammatory drugs
-Treat ulcers caused by the herpes simplex virus with anti-viral drugs
-Treat oral thrush with anti-fungal drugs.

Thanks a lot for the info...but im looking more for home remedies. i dont have the resources to go out and buy all these drugs. but still +5 internets for you. Good day to you sir.

[DarkSytze]

smear some tiger balm on it.

[JadeTheAssassin]

Avoid caffeine and acidic drinks.
Avoid salty and spicy foods like the plague.
Don't run your tongue over it.
Don't use your toothbrush over it.

Canker sores usually heal by themselves in 14 days without any treatment. Various treatments are only useful to relieve the pain of the sores. People with canker sores can rinse their mouth with salt water. Avoiding hot and spicy foods also helps to minimize pain.

After researching some more, the best advice I can tell you is use salt water to temporarily relieve pain, avoid hot, spicy and acidic foods and just wait for around 14 days.

Other methods include Mouth wash, Colgate toothpaste and lay off the food that causes your mouth stress until your mouth gets better.

They usually last 3-7 days, and will go away on its own.

However, past that point, it's probably a good idea to get it checked out.

[Spamurai]

Oh I get those too. Like everyone else said, salt water it. For me, it heals faster like that. Also, try to avoid biting it, that HURTS LIKE HELL

[mega-ballin-pimp-sev]

It's from too much cock.

[FluffyKitteh]

Or how about waiting for it to go away like a normal person would?

[Bruute]

Ora-gel? Numbs your mouth. Let it heal on its own, all I can think of.
