It will sting, but wet your fingertip, then dip it in Baking Soda and apply to the canker sore.  It will sting, but it will heal up within a day or two. \n\nI usually brush my teeth and rinse my mouth with water, then do the baking soda thing to the canker sore.  I usually do it after everytime I brush my teeth. \n\nTry and do it at least twice a day though, once in the morning and one in the evening.

Eat loads of yogurt and go to a health food store and get some high dose lactobacilli. 2 pills 2 times a day...  It's not fast, but getting rid of any type of infection takes time.\n\nNever heard of anyone getting it from kissing someone with it -- probable.  May depend to a certain extent on how much sugar is in your mouth.\n\nSymptoms may take a while to be noticeable -- any overgrowth (IE infection) takes some time to get to where it's noticeable.  \n\nYou can also rinse your mouth out with weak vinegar and water solution -- candida doesn't thrive in an acidic environment.\n\nYou may also want to replace your toothbrush.  Hope this helps.

Of course the best thing to do is see your dentist about the problem.  For temporary relief of the pain take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it is going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.  If your gums are sore, you can rinse several times a day with warm salt water.  Use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of water.

Campho-Phenique is available at most drug stores and discount stores.  It will kill germs and also deaden pain.  I also use Chloroseptic mouth spray.  Sometimes diet can cause canker sores.  Some nuts, tomatoes and acidic fruits can cause them.  Sugary foods also could be the culprit.

Use Listerine Mouthwash. If that doesn't help, you can either try rinsing your mouth out with 1 part peroxide & 1 part water...or put Campho Phenique on the area. Just don't swallow any of these!

Often treatment isn't necessary and your canker sore will heal on its own. Your doctor may suggest prescription medication if your sores are large, painful or persistent. To relieve the pain and irritation of canker sores, your doctor may recommend a prescription mouthwash, a corticosteroid salve or an anesthetic solution.\nThe following practices may provide temporary relief of canker sores:\nAvoid abrasive, acidic or spicy foods, which may increase the pain. \nApply ice to your canker sores or allow ice chips to slowly dissolve over the sores to ease the pain. \nBrush your teeth gently, using a soft brush to avoid irritating the sore. \nRinse your mouth with salt water or over-the-counter preparations. Try diluted hydrogen peroxide or elixir of diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Be sure to spit the Benadryl out to avoid absorption, so that the medication doesn't make you sleepy. \nDab a small amount of milk of magnesia on your canker sore a few times a day. This can ease the pain and may help the canker sore to heal. \nUse an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others). But don't give aspirin to children. Aspirin may trigger a rare, but potentially fatal, disorder known as Reye's syndrome.

I know how bad you must be hurting- so found this info for you.... hope it helps/..\n\n\nCanker sores are shallow, painful sores in your mouth. They are usually red or may sometimes have a white coating over them. You might get them on the inside of your lips, the insides of your cheeks, the base of your gums or under your tongue. Canker sores are different from fever blisters, which usually are on the outside of your lips or the corners of your mouth.\n\nAnyone can get canker sores, but women people in their teens and 20s get them more often. Canker sores may run in families, but they aren't contagious. Doctors don't know what causes canker sores, but they may be triggered by stress, poor nutrition, food allergies and menstrual periods.\n\nCanker sores usually go away without any treatment. For pain relief, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other medicines, such as Anbesol, Oragel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing your teeth. You put these medicines right on the sore.\n\nYou can also mix equal amounts of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl Allergy liquid. After it's mixed, you can swish a teaspoonful in your mouth for about 1 minute and then spit it out. If you do this every 4 to 6 hours, your canker sores may hurt less.\n\nSome people think that sucking on zinc lozenges, taking vitamin C or vitamin B complex, using a sage-and-chamomile mouthwash or taking a lysine supplement helps their canker sores heal faster.

Depending upon which kind...Canker or cold sore?   (in the mouth) Canker sores are often connected to stomach problems bacteria or stress.  Look up apthous ulcers and stomatitis so you can better understand them and help yourself.  If you also have stomach problems of any sort, it could be related.  Stress, poor diet(acidic foods such as coffee, chocolate (sorry) meats and vinegars can add to the problem) or any bacterial infection could be contributing to these sores.  \n\nIf it's cold sores(on the mouth), LYSINE pills are good for suppressing viruses(herpes simplex).  There are also LYSINE balms for this topically.  \n\nFor Canker sores, soothing and healing the stomach lining helps.  You can  look into is DGL-deglycerrized licorice.   This excellent supplement helps heal the stomach lining which can then help with canker sores.  I used to get them all the time...I also had constant stomach aches due to stress!!  So maybe this will help??  Teas made from mucalents like slippery elm, marshmallow can help soothe the stomach.  Ginger is also good for the stomach.  As far as the sore itself, avoid acidic foods, keep the mouth clean.   Goldenseal powder(yuck but effective) is a good natural antibacterial/biotic to heal wounds.  Use a little on the wound once a day. It's an immune enhancer.\n\nMostly figure out what's going on in your own body by looking at all symptoms, reading and then connecting the dots, so to speak!  \nGood luck!

Those are often called "canker sores," or mouth ulcerations. They can be accompanied by a fever or swollen lymph nodes or listnessness. It's basically just an irritation of the soft tissues inside your mouth.\n\nNobody really knows the causes, but it could be: Faulty immune system function; Nutritional problems such as a deficiency of vitamin B-12, zinc, folic acid or iron; A disease of the gastrointestinal tract; Food allergies; Menstrual periods\n\nThe best treatment I've found is switching toothpaste for awhile -- anything with sodium laureth sulfate in it (like Crest and similar) can be irriitating. OralB makes a canker sore toothpaste, and Sensodyne is good, as well. \n\nSwishing with Listerine can numb the sore if it's hurting. There are drugstore meds for them, but they don't work very well.

Little sores on your tongue can be from different things. Sugar candy or tart candy, gum, Different toothpastes. etc.I suggest finding what it is that may have caused it to begin with. Mine was Aquafresh Toothpaste,so I swtiched brands. To treat them so they do not hurt use oragel or some type of numbing gel to get rid of the pain.
