How do i get rid of a canker sore?

Question

ive had it for almost 2 weeks now and its annoying. any way i can get rid of it by tomorrow?

Answer 1

I don't think there is anything you can do to get rid of it by tomorrow. You can try the following though:

Try rinsing your mouth with a solution of ½ teaspoon salt dissolved in 8 ounces of water.

Another mixture that may be helpful consists of 1-2 tablespoons of Maalox mixed with ½ tablespoon of liquid diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Swish a teaspoonful in your mouth and spit it out. This can be done four times a day.

A number of medications are available over the counter, for example, calamine (Calamox) lotion.

Liquids or ointments with a numbing ingredient such as benzocaine (Anbesol, Oragel, Orabase, Zilactin-B, Tanac) help relieve the discomfort of canker sores.  

Answer 2

Not by tomorrow...you've had it for 2 weeks, so why have you waited 2 weeks?  

To rid it:  CAMPHO-PHENIQUE...in a tiny green bottle.  As a Parmacist.  A 'DAB' on the sore...and it will STING...and don't l**k it...it tastes nasty...but the tendancy is to l**k it.  DON'T.  Follow the directions on the bottle...and sorry...

but

Answer 3

Try wetting a teabag and put it on the canker sore whenever you have a chance. I know this probobly sounds very bizzare to you but the tanic acid in the teabag helps reduce the sore.

Answer 4

okay I read this somewhere and the next time I get one I am going to try it.  Take Ban roll-on deodorant (or any roll on deodorant) and put it on the canker core and it will dry it up.

Answer 5

Well, I don't know how to get rid of one..

but if it hurts, you can dab vanilla extract on it with a qtip,

it'll sting at first but afterwards it will numb it.
