Does anyone know anything that might help a canker soar?

Question

My teenager has one on her inside lip and it really bothers her. Any ideas what we can use to help it at least feel better if not go away sooner?

Answer 1

The best product that I have found is Campho Phenique.  It is not as expensive as other products.  Abreva is said to help with the healing time, but it is more expensive.  You could also try Lysine in cream form.

Answer 3

My kids get canker soars and we just put a q-tip in peroxide and they hold it on the sore for a while. It goes away fairly quickly, usually by the next day. Good luck.  

Answer 4

Canker Sores, fever blisters, and other mouth sores are treated with over-the-counter Abreva.

Gargling with warm salt water always helps, and eating yogurt has healing powers as well.

Also, Blistex feels quite nice. (It's a medicated creamy lip balm).

Good luck!
