rinse with warm water and salt(it doesnt hurt), it works really good. And you can care for it by just not poking at and stuff, and not iritating it.

Answer 3

My boyfriend gets them quite a bit and swears by lysine pills, which you can get over the counter at a local drug store or Walmart. Very inexpensive. I get them on accasion, usually after a visit to the dentist and I use a prescription called Triamcinolone Acetonide. It was actually prescribed by my dentist. Its a paste and clears mine up with in a couple of days.

Answer 4

Put salt on it.

it'll hurt really bad, but it will heal it up pretty quickly.

i find that i get canker sores from eating too much sugar, but some peopole get them from giving oral s*x.
